    摘要: A first variable delay circuit delays the reception data from the transmitting unit which is outputted from an input buffer and generates the delayed data to a data unidentifying time detecting portion. First and second latches have latch timings at regular intervals before and after a latch timing of a third latch for receiving and outputting by second and third variable delay circuits, respectively. In an adjusting operation, delay amounts of the second and third variable delay circuits are fixed to a value which is sufficiently smaller than a transfer period, a delay amount of the variable delay circuit is increased, a judging circuit detects a preceding edge of the reception data, subsequently, the delay amounts of the second and third variable delay circuits are sequentially increased while maintaining to the same value, and a following edge of the reception data is detected. In this instance, the timing of the third latch is set to the optimum point of the maximum margin. In a normal operation, the judging circuit detects a deviation from the optimum point and the delay amount of the first variable delay circuit is finely adjusted in accordance with the detection, thereby maintaining the latch timing of the reception data at the optimum point.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit system having a function of automatically adjusting an output resistance value with reference to a temperature of an LSI which is operating. When a count value obtained from a counter by counting the output of a timer becomes equal to a predetermined value, a temperature sensor measures temperatures of LSIs. If a temperature fluctuation measured from a previous measured value is greater than a predetermined width, then a control apparatus issues an output resistance value adjustment request signal to output resistance adjustment units of the LSIs. When receiving the output resistance value adjustment request signal, the output resistance value adjustment units stop the signal transmission between the LSIs, adjust output resistance values of output circuits in such a manner that the output resistance values are matched with a characteristic impedance of a transmission line, and maintains the adjusted output resistance values until the output resistance value adjustment units receive next output resistance value adjustment request signal.

    摘要: In a simultaneous bidirectional transmission circuit for conducting simultaneous two-way communication between LSIs via a transmission line, an input/output circuit connected to the transmission line is included in an LSI. The input/output circuit has a driver and a receiver. The driver sends out an output signal depending on a logical signal within the LSI to the transmission line. The receiver receives a mixed signal having a mixture of a received signal and the output signal via the transmission line. The signal to be received by the receiver in an LSI has been sent out to the transmission line by the other party i.e., another LSI in communication therewith. The receiver receives the logical signal output as well. The receives derives a difference between the mixed signal and the logical signal output, thereby removing the component of the logical signal from the mixed signal, and outputs the received signal. The receiver has a reference circuit for receiving the logical signal and outputting it to a bias circuit, a bias circuit for generating a divided voltage signal in conjunction with internal resistance of the reference circuit, and a differential receiver for receiving the mixed signal and the divided voltage signal and outputting the difference between them. The reference circuit and the bias circuit are formed by using MOS transistors.
