- the voltage VN2 of the node N2, and thus the gate voltage Vg of the transistor Q1 has a relatively steep slope from the time t31 when a short time has passed from the time t3 when the transmission signal TXS turns to the low level, and the voltage from 0V to the second voltage. It rises toward V2.
- the filter circuit 33 is interposed in series in the supply path of the second voltage V2 with respect to the gate of the transistor Q1. Therefore, the waveform of the gate voltage Vg of the transistor Q1 becomes a slightly dull waveform due to the action of the filter circuit 33. Then, at the time t32 when the gate voltage Vg of the transistor Q1 reaches the threshold voltage Vt, the transistor Q1 is turned on.
- the present embodiment described above also includes the delay shortening unit 34 that shortens the delay time required from the boundary edge to the time when the transistor Q1 is turned on, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, in this case, the delay shortening unit 34 performs voltage control so that the gate voltage of the transistor Q1 rises to a second voltage V2 higher than the threshold voltage Vt throughout the on period of driving the transistor Q1 on. .. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the delay time due to the operation of the drive circuit 32 can be shortened as compared with the first embodiment as well as the comparative example.
- the slope of the increase in the gate voltage when reaching the threshold voltage Vt becomes steeper than in the configuration of the first embodiment, so there is a concern that the emission may deteriorate.
- the waveform of the gate voltage of the transistor Q1 is slightly dull due to the action of the filter circuit 33 interposed in the supply path of the second voltage V2 with respect to the gate of the transistor Q1. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the slope of the increase in the gate voltage when reaching the threshold voltage Vt becomes slightly gentle, and the risk of deterioration of emissions is reduced.
- the gate voltage of the transistor Q1 in the output stage rises relatively steeply, and the transistor Q1 turns on relatively steeply. Therefore, there is a possibility that a current is drawn from the master 2m to the slave 2s through the bus 3. Specifically, a current may be drawn from the power supply line L1 to which the power supply voltage Va of the master 2 m is supplied to the slave 2s via the resistor R1, the diode D1 and the bus 3. Such a current leads to deterioration of emissions.
- the drain of the transistor Q1 in the output stage is connected to the bus 3 via the two diodes D2 and D21 in opposite directions. ing.
- the drain of the transistor Q1 in the output stage is connected to the bus 3 via one diode D2 in the opposite direction. Therefore, the output terminal of the slave 2s has a higher voltage than the output terminal of the master 2m by the forward voltage Vf of the diode D21.
- the transistor Q1 of the driver circuit 31 of the slave 2s is suddenly turned on, the current from the power supply line L1 of the master 2m does not flow to the slave 2s side and passes through the transistor Q1 of the output stage of the master 2m. Flows to the ground.
- the possibility that the current is drawn from the master 2m to the slave 2s is suppressed to a low level, so that the risk of deterioration of emissions due to this is reduced.
- the gate voltage of the transistor Q1 rises relatively slowly and the transistor Q1 turns on relatively slowly as compared with the configuration of the present embodiment. Therefore, from the master 2m. It is unlikely that current will be drawn into the slave 2s.
- the configuration of the first embodiment as in the configuration of the present embodiment, if the drain of the transistor Q1 is connected to the bus 3 via the two diodes D2 and D21 in opposite directions, the master 2m to the slave The possibility that the current is drawn into the 2s can be further reduced, and the risk of deterioration of emissions due to this can be further reduced.
- the communication device 41 of the present embodiment includes a receiver circuit 42 instead of the receiver circuit 5 with respect to the communication device 2 of the first embodiment, and a control circuit instead of the control circuit 6. It is different in that it has 43.
- the receiver circuit 42 is different from the receiver circuit 5 shown in FIG. 3 in that the filter circuit 7 is omitted. In this case, the signal of the bus 3 is directly given to the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator 8.
- the control circuit 43 has functions as a determination unit 44 and a noise detection unit 45.
- the determination unit 44 determines the code transmitted via the bus 3 by sampling the signal of the bus 3 at a predetermined sampling timing.
- the noise detection unit 45 detects the signal level of the bus 3 and detects the noise superimposed on the bus 3 based on the detection result. Specifically, each of these functions is realized as follows.
- the control circuit 43 includes a digital filter circuit including an addition / subtraction counter that adds or subtracts based on the level of the received signal RX which is the output signal of the comparator 8.
- the addition / subtraction counter adds when the signal RX1 obtained by passing the received signal RX through the double matching filter included in the digital filter circuit is at a high level, and subtracts when the signal RX1 is at a low level. I do.
- the count value ct of the addition / subtraction counter is added when the signal RX1 is at a high level and is subtracted when the signal RX1 is at a low level.
- the signal RX2 corresponding to the received signal RX is generated based on the count value ct of such an addition / subtraction counter.
- the signal RX2 is a signal that turns to a low level when the count value ct reaches the lower limit value and turns to a high level when the count value ct reaches the upper limit value.
- the determination unit 44 determines the code transmitted via the bus 3 by sampling the signal RX2 generated in this way at a predetermined sampling timing.
- the sampling timing this time is determined according to the time obtained by adding a predetermined specified time corresponding to 6% of the bit rate to the previous Lo width.
- the sampling timing of this time is the time when the time obtained by adding the specified time to the previous Lo width elapses from the time of falling of the signal RX2 this time.
- addition / subtraction counter when noise is not superimposed on the bus 3, once subtraction is started, subtraction is continuously performed for a predetermined period thereafter, and once addition is started, after that. The addition is continuously performed for the predetermined period of.
- chattering occurs in the output of the comparator 8 due to noise superimposed on the bus 3 and the level of the received signal RX fluctuates, the addition / subtraction counter repeats addition and subtraction.
- the noise detection unit 45 determines that noise is superimposed on the bus 3 when the addition and subtraction by the addition / subtraction counter are repeatedly performed. Further, the noise detection unit 45 determines that the periods TNf and TNr in which the count value ct of the addition / subtraction counter increases / decreases are the noise detection periods in which the noise is detected.
- the Lo width described above accurately represents the low period at which the signal of the bus 3 is at the low level in the normal state where noise is not superimposed on the bus 3, but when noise is superimposed on the bus 3, it becomes the actual low period. Can be different. Specifically, when the received signal RX corresponding to the vicinity of the falling edge of the signal of the bus 3 fluctuates due to the influence of noise, the time until the count value ct reaches the lower limit value is delayed, and as a result, the signal RX2 Lo width becomes shorter than the actual row period.
- the received signal RX corresponding to the vicinity of the rising edge of the signal of the bus 3 fluctuates due to the influence of noise, the time until the count value ct reaches the upper limit value is delayed, and as a result, the Lo width of the signal RX2 becomes large. It will be longer than the actual row period.
- the sampling timing this time is determined based on the previous Lo width shorter than the actual row period, but the Lo width this time accurately represents the actual row period. Therefore, in the first case, the sampling timing this time is a timing that is ahead of the original timing, and as a result, it is erroneously determined that the signal of the bus 3 is at a low level even though it is at a high level. There is a risk.
- the sampling timing this time is determined based on the previous Lo width that accurately represents the actual row period, but the Lo width this time is longer than the actual row period. Therefore, even though the signal of the bus 3 is high level, it may be erroneously determined to be low level.
- the determination unit 44 delays the sampling timing by a predetermined time according to the period in which the noise is detected.
- the predetermined time is a period in which the above-mentioned period TNf and the period TNr are added.
- the delay time required from the boundary edge to the time when the transistor Q1 is turned on is shortened as compared with the configuration of the first embodiment. There is a merit that it is done.
- the filter circuit 7 for removing noise is not provided, there is a demerit that the possibility of erroneous determination due to the influence of noise increases.
- the present embodiment since the occurrence of erroneous determination due to the influence of noise is prevented as described above, there is no demerit due to the absence of the filter circuit 7, and only the merit is enjoyed. be able to.
- FIGS. 11 to 13 a fifth embodiment in which the specific configurations of the driver circuit and the control circuit have been changed with respect to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13.
- the driver circuit 51 of the present embodiment is different from the driver circuit 4 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 4 in that the drive circuit 52 is provided in place of the drive circuit 9. There is.
- the drive circuit 52 is different from the drive circuit 9 in that the delay shortening unit 14 is omitted and that the switch S51 is provided instead of the transistor Q5.
- One terminal of the switch S51 is connected to the power supply line L2, and the other terminal is connected to the node N2 via the current source 11.
- the on / off of the switch S51 is controlled by the transmission signal TX.
- the switch S51 is turned off when the transmission signal TX is at a high level and is turned on when the transmission signal TX is at a low level.
- the switch S51 can be configured by using a semiconductor switching element such as a MOS transistor.
- the current source 12 is configured so that its operation can be stopped. Specifically, the current source 12 stops the operation during the period when the cut signal PSCM, which will be described later, is at a high level, and executes the operation during the period when the cut signal PSCM is at a low level.
- the control circuit 53 of the present embodiment has functions as a learning control unit 54, a predictive control unit 55, and a first-out control unit 56.
- the learning control unit 54 executes learning control for learning the period of the boundary edge based on the detection result of the boundary edge by the receiver circuit 5 functioning as the edge detection circuit.
- the learning control unit 54 includes a counter 54a, which is a hardware timer counter that measures a 1-bit rate.
- the counter 54a executes the counting operation from the time when the boundary edge is detected to the time when the boundary edge is detected next.
- the counter 54a starts the counting operation when the boundary edge is detected, and thereafter restarts the counting operation after clearing the count value at each time when the boundary edge is detected.
- the learning control unit 54 learns the period of the boundary edge based on the count value of the counter 54a. That is, the learning control unit 54 learns the count value when the counter 54a is cleared as the learning value of the boundary edge cycle each time. Since the bit rate is constant, such a learning value shows a constant value. For example, when the bit rate is 20 kbps and the counter 54a operates with a system clock of 4.5 MHz, the learning value is constant at "225".
- the prediction control unit 55 executes predictive control that predicts the timing at which the next boundary edge is detected based on the cycle of the boundary edge learned by the learning control unit 54 executing the learning control. Specifically, the prediction control unit 55 can predict the timing at which the next boundary edge is detected based on the learning value learned by the learning control and the current count value of the counter 54a.
- the first-out control unit 56 executes first-out control that gives an on-command to the drive circuit 52, that is, a low-level transmission signal TX at a time point earlier than the timing predicted by the prediction control unit 55 executing the prediction control. .. Specifically, the advance control unit 56 starts outputting the low-level transmission signal TX at a time point that is a predetermined number of clocks before the time point when the count value of the counter 54a matches the learning value.
- the advance control unit 56 starts outputting the low-level transmission signal TX when the count value of the counter 54a is "220" and the counter matches. ing.
- the setting of the predetermined number of clocks that is, the setting of how much before the predicted timing to start the output, can be appropriately changed and adjusted according to various specifications and the like.
- the delay time required from the boundary edge to the time when the transistor Q1 is turned on is shortened by executing each of the above-mentioned controls by the learning control unit 54, the predictive control unit 55, and the advance control unit 56. .. That is, in this case, the delay shortening unit 57 is configured by the learning control unit 54, the prediction control unit 55, and the advance control unit 56. As described above, in the present embodiment, the delay shortening unit 57 is provided in the control circuit 53.
- the control circuit 53 generates the cut signal PSCM described above.
- the cut signal PSCM is high in the first-out period, which is the period from the time when the output of the low-level transmission signal TX is started by executing the first-out control to the timing when the next boundary edge predicted by the prediction control is detected. It becomes a level and becomes a low level in other periods.
- the operation of each part during the off period in which the drive circuit 52 drives the transistor Q1 off is as follows. That is, since the transmission signal TXS is at a high level, the switch S51 is turned off. As a result, the gate-source capacitance of the transistor Q1 is discharged by the current of the current source 12, so that the gate voltage Vg drops and the transistor Q1 is turned off.
- the control circuit 53 executes each of the above-mentioned controls, so that the transmission signal is transmitted at a time point t51 before the time point t3 when the control circuit 6 of the first embodiment shifts the transmission signal TXS from the high level to the low level. Turn TXS from high level to low level. During the period after the time point t51, the transmission signal TXS becomes a low level. During such a period, the drive circuit 52 drives the transistor Q1 on. The operation of each part during the ON period in which the drive circuit 52 drives the transistor Q1 on is as follows.
- the switch S51 since the transmission signal TXS is at a low level, the switch S51 is turned on. Further, the cut signal PSCM becomes a high level during the advance period from the time point t51 to the time point t3. Therefore, during the first-out period, the output current of the current source 11 branches and flows so as to charge each of the capacitors C1 and C2. After that, when the cut signal PSCM turns to a low level at the time point t3, a current having a current value I2 corresponding to the difference between the output current of the current source 11 and the output current of the current source 12 is supplied toward the gate of the transistor Q1. It will be.
- the gate voltage Vg of the transistor Q1 rises relatively gently with a constant slope from the time point t52 when a short time has passed from the time point t51.
- the slope of the increase in the gate voltage Vg at this time is determined by the current values I1 and I2 of the current sources 11 and 12 and the capacitance values of the capacitors C1 and C2. Then, at the time t53 when the gate voltage Vg of the transistor Q1 reaches the threshold voltage Vt, the transistor Q1 is turned on.
- the present embodiment described above also includes the delay shortening unit 57 that shortens the delay time required from the boundary edge to the time when the transistor Q1 is turned on, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained.
- the delay shortening unit 57 provided in the control circuit 53 executes various controls to switch the transmission signal TX to the low level at a timing ahead of the comparative example corresponding to the conventional configuration. .. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, by setting the timing for advancing the transmission signal TX, not only the delay time due to the operation of the drive circuit 52, but also the logic delay in the control circuit 53, the delay in the filter circuit 7, and the comparator 8 It is possible to significantly reduce the overall delay time including the delay in.
- the drive circuit 52 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the transistor Q1 is driven on by constant current drive throughout the on period, as in the comparative example described in the first embodiment. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the gate voltage rises relatively slowly to reach the threshold voltage Vt, and the transistor Q1 is turned on. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the risk of deterioration of emissions due to the ON operation of the transistor Q1.
- the control circuit 53 does not start the output of the low-level transmission signal TXS triggered by the change of the signal of the bus 3, but is based on the learned value of the learned boundary edge period.
- the output of the low-level transmission signal TXS is started ahead of schedule, and there is no need to wait for a change in the signal of the bus 3. That is, the control circuit 53 starts to output the low-level transmission signal TXS when the dominant code is output even if the clock is not output from the master 2m.
- the control circuit 53 outputs the low level transmission signal TXS based on the learning value. That is, there is a possibility that the signal level of the bus 3 is changed and the behavior is as if the clock from the master 2 m is supplied. Therefore, in the configuration of the fifth embodiment, even if the bus 3 is fixed at a high level, the slave 2s may run by itself when continuously outputting the dominant code. In the following, the sticking of the bus 3 to a high level is referred to as Hi sticking.
- the UART frame is decoded and a signal is put on the bus 3.
- the UART always contains at least one stop bit. Therefore, in the operation of the slave 2s, the timing of outputting the recessive code corresponding to "logical value: 1" to the bus 3 is always included.
- the control circuit 53 When the slave 2s outputs the recessive code corresponding to the stop bit when the bus 3 is fixed to Hi, the boundary edge is not detected for a relatively long period of time. Therefore, the count value of the counter 54a is assumed as the period of the boundary edge. It is a very large value compared to the value (for example) "225"). Therefore, when the count value of the counter 54a reaches an upper limit value (for example, “1024”) larger than the value assumed as the period of the boundary edge, the control circuit 53 once resets the learning result by the learning control to perform the learning control. It is supposed to be executed again.
- the control circuit 53 stops the execution of the predictive control and the first-out control until the learning result by the learning control is obtained.
- the control circuit 53 includes a remeasurement counter that counts the number of times that the learning value is correctly obtained, and the period until the count value of the remeasurement counter becomes "3", that is, the learning value is The execution of the predictive control and the first-out control is stopped until three times are obtained.
- the count value of the counter 54a is cnt1
- the count value of the remeasurement counter is cnt2.
- the slave 2s In the period Ta, the slave 2s is in a state of continuously outputting the dominant code. Therefore, the slave 2s outputs the low-level transmission signal TXS based on the learning value even though the clock supply is stopped from the master 2m, that is, the signal level of the bus 3 is changed.
- the count value ct1 is "230", "235”, etc., and the cycle of the boundary edge. The value does not deviate significantly from the value assumed as.
- the slave 2s In the period Tb, the slave 2s is in a state of outputting a recessive code corresponding to, for example, a stop bit. Therefore, the count value ct1 of the counter 54a rises beyond the value assumed as the period of the boundary edge, and reaches the upper limit value “1024”. As a result, the control circuit 53 once resets the learning result of the learning control, executes the learning control again, and stops the execution of the predictive control and the first-out control. In FIG. 14, such an operating state is represented as a reset operation (during remeasurement). At this time, the count value of the remeasurement counter is cleared to "0".
- the clock supply is restarted from the master 2m.
- the learning value starts to be normally obtained by the learning control, and when the learning value is obtained three times, the control circuit 53 resumes the execution of the prediction control and the advance control.
- the slave 2s is in a normal operating state in which the slave 2s operates in synchronization with the clock from the master 2m. In FIG. 14, such an operating state is represented as a reset release operation.
- the control circuit 53 will perform the control circuit 53 when the count value of the counter 54a reaches the upper limit. Since it is determined that the bus 3 is fixed to Hi and the execution of the predictive control and the advance control is stopped, there is no possibility that the slave 2s will continue to operate without synchronizing with the clock supplied from the master 2m. Further, in this case, when the control circuit 53 determines that the bus 3 is fixed to Hi, the learning value is reset and the learning control is restarted, and when the learned value is correctly obtained by the restarted learning control, the prediction control and The first-out control is restarted. Therefore, when the abnormality on the master 2m side is resolved, the slave 2s can promptly resume the prediction control and the first-out control, and can return to the normal operation.
- the present disclosure is not limited to the communication devices 2 and 41 that perform CXPI communication exemplified in each of the above embodiments, and is synchronized with the communication of any one of a plurality of communication devices that transmit and receive data via a transmission line. It can be applied to all communication devices used in communication systems in which other communication devices transmit.
- the switching element provided in the output stage of the driver circuit 4 or the like is not limited to a MOS transistor such as the transistor Q1, and various semiconductor switching elements such as a bipolar transistor and a GaAs-MESFET can be used.
