Abstract: A differential signal represented by a voltage difference between two signals that propagate through two signal lines is input to a signal processing circuit from a connector. A first suppressing circuit and a second suppressing circuit suppress peak values of the two signals. A DC removing circuit removes DC components of the two signals. A common mode choke coil (noise removing circuit) removes common mode noise included in the two signals.

If the voltage of the signal line is a second threshold voltage, a current flows through a second suppressing device (second connection device). The second threshold voltage is less than the first threshold voltage.
