FIG. 1 shows a conventional example. In the data input unit 10, the input operation unit 1 is usually constituted by a switch on a keyboard, etc., and is connected to an optical signal generation circuit 2. The optical signal generating circuit 2 checks the contact state of the key switch. When a key press is detected, the optical signal generating circuit 2 generates an optical signal modulated with a code corresponding to the key, and drives the light emitting element 3. On the other hand, in the main device 20 , when the light receiving element 4 receives the optical signal, it converts it into an electrical signal and inputs it to the signal detection circuit 5 . Signal detection circuit 5
adjusts the input signal ta, generates a key manual signal, and transmits it to the control section 6. In general, the input section 1o is battery-powered in order to be portable, and low power consumption is important in the circuit configuration.
