Abstract
A receiver circuit which can suppress a voltage amplitude appearing on a transmission line. The receiver circuit, coupled to a first and a second transmission lines which transmit information by using currents, includes a first and a second current sources, a first and a second conversion sections which convert currents which flow respectively therein to voltages, a first transistor whose source is coupled to the first current source and to the first transmission line, and whose drain is coupled to the first conversion section, and a second transistor whose source is coupled to the second current source and to the second transmission line, and whose drain is coupled to the second conversion section. The gate and the drain of the first transistor are respectively coupled to the drain and the gate of the second transistor.
