- the receiver 415b of the host terminal 401 cannot recognize the differential signal of the control signal transmission line 406 and cannot output a correct logic level. Therefore, the output line 442b of the receiver 415b is in an indefinite state of either high or low (see the X mark in Fig. 28). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 28, the value of the interrupt detection signal that is the output of the comparator 441 shown in FIG. 27 is not necessarily Low (L) but may be High (H) (see FIG. 28). (See the X on 28).

However, it is between the data packet transmitted first and the data packet transmitted later, that is, between the footer information of the data packet transmitted first and the header information of the data packet transmitted later. In the basic time slot, the signal amplitude may be changed. Since the signal amplitude does not change during the transmission period of the header information and footer information, it is possible to prevent the footer information and header information from being received accurately. Since the current-driven differential transmission method is used in the present embodiment, each transmission line including the control signal transmission line 406 is in a high or low state even during the basic time slot. It is in
