Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a bi-directional bus repeater. The present disclosure further relates to a communication bus including a bi-directional bus repeater, and to a communication system including the communication bus. The bi-directional bus repeater includes a first input terminal, a second input terminal, a first pulldown element connected to the first input terminal, and a second pulldown element connected to the second input terminal. By ensuring that the activation of the first and second pulldown elements is dependent on the state of the corresponding input terminal and the detection of a high-to-low transition of the corresponding other input terminal, the problem of self-locking can be avoided or at least minimized.
