Abstract

An output device is disclosed that includes an impedance matching section including an impedance adjustment section, and a dummy circuit section having the same configuration as the impedance adjustment section and adapted to calculate an adjustment value for matching an output impedance to a characteristic impedance of the transmission line. The impedance matching section sets the adjustment value to an impedance adjustment section, thereby matching the output impedance to the characteristic impedance. The output device further includes a switching transistor configured to be turned on/off so as to switch the output between an H level and an L level, and a constant current driver configured to add a constant current to the output.
