A ringing suppression circuit, which is connected to a transmission line for transmitting a differential signal changeable between a high level and a low level in a binary level through a pair of a high potential side signal line and a low potential side signal line, and suppresses ringing that occurs in association with transmission of the differential signal, includes: an inter-line switching element that is connected to the pair of the high potential side signal line and the low potential side signal line; and a control unit that turns on the inter-line switching element and fixes an on state when detecting that the differential signal changes from the high level to the low level, and releases the on state after a predetermined time is measured and elapsed.

Ringing suppression circuit

Between a CPU and a communication module, a write buffer, a write control section, a read buffer and a read control section are provided. The CPU directly accesses and the write buffer and the read buffer. By periodically outputting a communication request, the read control section reads data, which the communication module received from other nodes, and transfers the data to the read buffer. The write control section transfers to the communication module the data written in the write buffer as transmission data. In addition, a bypass access control section and an access sequence control section are provided. The bypass access control section controls direct data read and data write between the CPU and the communication module. The access sequence control section controls sequence of accesses of the control sections to the communication module.
