Abstract: Communication bus systems have at least one twisted wire pair cable used as a physical medium. Such communication bus systems require bus termination at least at the end point bus nodes. Often the communication bus system includes a plurality of equitable bus nodes which are connected to the communication bus. A bus node includes an interface circuit to a communication bus. The interface circuit includes a bus termination circuit arrangement which includes at least a connection arrangement to at least one configuration component. In this way, it is easy to activate/deactivate bus termination for the single bus node by placing the configuration component manually in the manufacturing process.
