Abstract
A communication controlling apparatus comprising a transmission line error detecting circuit 30 which determines whether a transmission line error is detected or not in the data transmitted from its own node without immediately disabling a P-channel MOS transistor 20 or N-channel MOS transistor 21 as output gates when an error is detected in one of the transmission lines (BUS+line 11 or BUS-line 12), a sequence control circuit 31 which informs all the other nodes that the error is detected in its own node, and a selector 27 which determines whether the transmission line error detecting circuit 30 has detected or not the transmission line error in the transmit start (SOF) period and selects a differential comparator. The reliability of communication is improved when an error is detected in one of the transmission lines.
