Abstract
A bus driver circuit includes a diode, a resistor, a constant voltage source, a constant voltage comparing circuit, the first output buffer circuit, the second output buffer circuit. An anode of the diode is connected to a power source, whereas a cathode thereof is connected to an end of the resistor. The other end of the resistor is connected to the ground. The constant voltage source applies, to the voltage comparing circuit, a reference voltage, which is substantially identical with a voltage of the cathode included in the diode when a temperature of the first output buffer circuit becomes a temperature Tcr at which a ringing event occurs in an output signal from the bus driver circuit. The voltage comparing circuit compares the reference voltage and the voltage of the cathode. The voltage comparing circuit outputs a control signal to the first output buffer circuit in accordance with the compared result. Both of the first and second output buffer circuits are connected to a signal output terminal to be connected to a bus and a signal input terminal connected to a signal processor. The first output buffer circuit is a three state buffer circuit. While the bus driver circuit is b…
