Abstract
A communication apparatus according to the present invention comprises a transmitter for generating and transmitting a data signal where data is superposed as time length of a pulse interval, and a receiver for receiving the data signal. The transmitter and the receiver are connected through a single communication line. The receiver comprises: a receiver-side oscillator circuit for oscillating a reference pulse as a count reference of the data signal; a counter circuit for counting a pulse interval of the received data signal by converting it to a reference pulse number of the oscillator circuit; and a comparator circuit stores a first reference value therein, and judges data of the data signal by comparing the pulse interval of the data signal counted by the counter circuit with the first reference value.
