Abstract: A signal transmission system in which a serializer IC connected to first parallel signal wirings and a deserializer IC connected to second parallel signal wirings are connected by a transmission line. Among input terminals of the serializer IC, redundant input terminals which are not connected to the first parallel signal wirings are connected to one wiring obtained by branching off the first parallel signal wirings. When parallel signals are converted into a serial signal, their bit data is arranged into the serial signal which is temporally continuous. Thus, the number of transition times of the serial signal is reduced and radiation noises can be suppressed.

Abstract: To prevent damage to equipment due to the oblique insertion of a fat cable, a capacitor-connection line having a capacitive circuit element is disposed adjacent to a power supply line of a printed circuit board and connected to a ground of the printed circuit board. When a flat cable is obliquely inserted, the capacitor-connection line which comes into erroneous contact with the power supply line works as high impedance in the case of a direct current, and the current does not flow. Damage generated when a flat cable is obliquely inserted into a connector of a printed circuit board is prevented in this manner.
