Abstract: A driver circuit includes an output section; a voltage-dividing section configured to divide a first voltage at a coupling point between the output section and a termination resistor; a comparison section configured to compare a voltage difference with one of the first voltage and a second voltage, the voltage difference being a difference between the second voltage at a coupling point between the termination resistor and a transmission path and a third voltage output from the voltage-dividing section; and an adjustment section configured to adjust a voltage division ratio of the voltage-dividing section on the basis of the comparison result obtained in the comparison section.

Abstract: A detector circuit for detecting abnormalities in the oscillation frequency of a clock signal, includes a counter and a comparator. The counter is supplied with a reference clock signal, and counts the number of pulses of the reference clock signal to output a signal indicative of the count value. In response to the clock signal, the counter clears the count value. The comparator compares the count value of the counter with a specified value stored in its register, and generates a detection signal indicating whether the frequency of the clock signal is within expected limits, based on the comparison result.
