    Abstract: An output terminal of a signal output device is connected through a branch path to a voltage dividing point in a main path, and transmits an output signal based on a voltage of the voltage dividing point to an outside. A signal generation circuit adjusts the voltage of the voltage dividing point and generates the output signal. A short circuit detection circuit detects a short circuit between the output terminal and another terminal when a current flowing in the branch path is greater than a predetermined short circuit detection threshold. A switching circuit switches a current carrying capacity or a configuration of the signal generation circuit to limit a short circuit current flowing in the branch path when the short circuit is detected. The short circuit current is set to a value equal to or greater than the short circuit detection threshold and less than a current upper limit value.

    Abstract: A communication apparatus operates with a supply voltage of a power and transmits a sensor value with a digital communication method using consecutive frames. In the communication apparatus, a data source unit is configured to generate a frame using a data of a sensor value processed by a signal processing unit. A switching unit is configured to perform a signal switching to permit a transmission circuit to perform a re-transmission of re-transmitting a signal including the sensor value stored in a memory in response to a restoration of the power after an instantaneous power interruption. A frame monitoring unit is configured to monitor a status of a frame transmission and determine a frame at the occurrence of the instantaneous power interruption. The sensor value to be re-transmitted is determined based on information of the frame determined by the frame monitoring unit at the occurrence of the instantaneous power interruption.

    Abstract: A differential transmission circuit for a communication device performs bidirectional communication via a differential transmission line. The differential transmission circuit include: output transistors that are turned on and off according to a drive signal during a transmission period; a signal generation unit that generates and outputs the drive signal; short-circuit transistors connected between gates and drains of the output transistors; and a cut off unit that cuts off a supply path of the drive signal between the signal generation unit and the gates of the output transistors. The cut off unit cuts off the supply path of the drive signal during a reception period in which a reception operation is performed by the communication device.

    Abstract: In a communication system, a control unit and driver units are connected in a daisy chain; each unit includes a corresponding insulated communication circuit, respectively. The control unit measures a communication delay time between the control unit and each driver unit from a response time to transmission of a pulse signal performed to each driver unit during a measurement period. Then, based on each communication delay time, the control unit transmits a shift time to each driver unit for equalizing the timing of signals output by the driver units. When each driver unit receives, from the control unit, an instruction instructing each driver unit to output a signal, each driver unit outputs the signal when the shift time has elapsed.
