Abstract: An electronic device includes a first electronic component and a second electronic component that is connected to the first electronic component via a signal line in which a signal is transmitted and received. An electronic device includes a plurality of conductive lines that is arranged in parallel with the signal line with the signal line interposed therebetween, between the first electronic component and the second electronic component. An electronic device includes a detecting unit that detects an amount of noise which each of the conductive lines receives from another signal line and a correcting unit that reduces noise which the signal received in the signal line receives from the other signal line using the amount of noise detected by the detecting unit.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a receiver receiving a signal, a driver outputting a signal, and at least one of an amplitude measuring device having an amplitude detector connected to an input end of the receiver and a jitter measuring device having a phase detector connected to an output end of the receiver. An output end of the driver and an input end of the receiver are connected to measure at least one of the amplitude and jitter of the driver output.

Abstract: There is provided a device in an accessory apparatus, which is connected with a main apparatus, for protecting a motor driver IC and a logic circuit in the accessory apparatus from the application of a voltage higher than the rated voltage for these circuits, when the connection between the main apparatus and the accessory apparatus (optional apparatus) which receives power from the main apparatus enters an abnormal state. Therefore, even when the power of the main apparatus is ON, the accessory apparatus can be attached to, or removed from, the main apparatus without damaging the circuits. The device comprises an inexpensive element, such as a rectifying diode or a Zener diode.

Abstract: A stepping motor control unit for controlling a stepping motor is provided with a time measuring section for measuring time outputting a time completion pulse when a predetermined time elapses, a mutual excitation waveform output circuit switching a mutual excitation waveform to be applied to the stepping motor in response to the time completion pulse, an interrupt prohibit circuit outputting an interrupt enable signal which indicates an interrupt enable state or an interrupt prohibit state, an interrupt generating circuit generating an interrupt signal in response to the time completion pulse only when the interrupt enable signal indicates the interrupt enable state, and a processor controlling the stepping motor every time the interrupt signal is received.
