Abstract
A data communication system having a plurality of nodes is disclosed. A number of transceivers is provided, each transceiver being coupled to a respective one of the plurality of nodes, for data communication between the transceiver and its associated node. Each transceiver is also provided with a controlled current source. The data communication system is also equipped with a data bus for communication of a transmitted data signal between the transceivers. A current bus which is coupled to each transceiver receives a current signal from the controlled current source when a transceiver is placing the data onto the data bus.
