TRANSMISSION CIRCUIT, SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, AND DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the trouble in the electrostatic breakdown test.SOLUTION: A transmission circuit according to an embodiment includes a pulse generation circuit that generates pulse signals based on edges of input data, a first output driver that outputs a first output pulse signal related to one of the edges to a first end of an external insulating coupling element on the basis of the pulse signal, a second output driver that outputs a second output pulse signal related to the other edge to a second end of the insulating coupling element on the basis of the pulse signal, and an output stop circuit that stops the output of the first and second output pulse signals for a predetermined period after the activation of the power source voltage.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
