Abstract
In a data transfer circuit, a hold signal generating circuit generates and outputs a hold signal Hold when transmission data is equal to transmission data one cycle before, and sets a 3-state output buffer for transmission data to high-impedance state, while, in a data reception circuit, when the hold signal Hold is valid, a data reception circuit outputs the reception data held, thereby power consumption in a data bus which is terminated with a terminal resistor is reduced.
