Abstract
Abstract A system for signal transmission has at least one bus for the signal transmission and a reflection-prevention resistance provided on a stub connected to the bus for preventing reflection of signals at an intersection between the bus and the stub. The system includes termination resistances, and a switch unit for coupling the bus to termination voltage via the termination resistances in a first mode and for disconnecting the bus from the termination voltage in a second mode.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A system for signal transmission having at least one bus for said signal transmission and a reflection-prevention resistance provided on a stub having one end thereof connected to said bus for preventing reflection of signals at an intersection between said bus and said stub, said stub having another end thereof connected to a signal transmitter or a signal receiver, said signal receiver, said system comprising: termination resistances provided at both ends of the bus; and a switch for coupling said both ends of the bus to termination voltage via said termination resistances in a first mode and for disconnecting said both ends of the bus from said termination voltage in a second mode.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
113 words
A system for signal transmission having at least one bus for said signal transmission and a reflection-prevention resistance provided on a stub having one end thereof connected to said bus for preventing reflection of signals at an intersection between said bus and said stub, said stub having another end thereof connected to a signal transmitter or a signal receiver, said signal receiver, said system comprising: termination resistances provided at both ends of the bus; and a switch for coupling said both ends of the bus to termination voltage via said termination resistances in a first mode and for disconnecting said both ends of the bus from said termination voltage in a second mode.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said signal transmission uses a first frequency in said first mode, and uses a second frequency in said second mode, said first frequency being higher than said second frequency.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said switch comprises MOS transistors having an on/off condition controlled by a control signal, and said termination resistances are internal resistances of said MOS transistors.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The system as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a processor generating said control signal.
