Abstract
An electronic device which improves speed of signal transmission in a bus wiring system by specifying circuit configuration of a driver circuit and transmission line characteristic impedance. An input/output circuit combines a differential driver of current switch type with a bus wiring system having a transmission line for transmitting a differential complementary digital signal and a termination end resistor matching the transmission line. An integrated circuit chip including the differential driver is mounted on a wiring board including the transmission line and the termination end resistor. The transmission line includes wires having an equal length which have characteristic impedance of 25&OHgr; or less. In combination with the current switch type differential driver, this transmission line structure restricts attenuation of signal energy during transmission and restricts electromagnetic interference between transmission lines close to each other.
