Abstract
An embodiment is a connecting circuit connected to the preceding stage of a transmission circuit and configured to receive a data signal includes an initial voltage value holding circuit, and a terminating load connected in series with the initial voltage value holding circuit. The initial voltage value holding circuit outputs, to the terminating load, an initial voltage value obtained when no data signal is input, and sets both ends of the terminating load at the same potential by a DC component.
Claims16
A connecting circuit connected to a preceding stage of a transmission circuit to which a data signal is input, the connecting circuit comprising:
- an initial voltage value holding circuit;
- and
- a terminating load connected in series with the initial voltage value holding circuit,
- wherein the initial voltage value holding circuit is configured to output, to the terminating load, an initial voltage value obtained when the data signal is not input, and sets both ends of the terminating load at the same potential in terms of a DC component.
