Abstract
A bus driving system includes n bus wires having data signal wires and control signal wires, (n-1) switching circuits constituting driver circuits at a transmitting end, a precharge circuitry for precharging (n-2) bus wires and (n-1)-th bus wire with a control circuit for redistributing wire capacitances of transmission lines formed by the bus wires, and a predischarge circuitry for predischarging n-th bus wire. The switching circuits control conduction and non-conduction between (n-2) bus wires, (n-1)-th bus wire and n-th bus wire, wherein the (n-2) switching circuits respond to (n-2) bit signals and a control signal, while the (n-1)-th switching circuit responds to the control signal. The signal from the transmitting end is detected by a detection circuit at a receiving end via the transmission lines.
