Abstract

A method is provided for edge formation of signals and transmitter/receiver component for a bus system. A transmitter/receiver component for a bus system comprises a driver transistor, which is to be looped between a bus line of the bus system and a reference potential and is used to output signals on the bus line, a control unit for the driver transistor, a high-frequency interference detector, which is configured in such a way that it detects a high-frequency interference level on the bus line of the bus system, whereby the control unit is configured in such a way that it controls the driver transistor, depending on the detected high-frequency interference level, in such a way that an edge steepness of the output signals increases when the high-frequency interference level on the bus line increases, and an edge steepness of the output signals decreases when the high-frequency interference level on the bus line decreases.
