<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of pins of an FPGA that is used for input and output of a communication signal, in an interface circuit which communicates with a plurality of external devices via a transmission path, using the FPGA. Ž<P>SOLUTION: When an indication signal indicating one of devices to be controlled 2A to 2N as a destination device of communication is input, the FPGA43 supplies a switch control signal to a switching unit 30 via a pin 432, wiring 47, connector 41 and cable 33, and connects a cable 32A with a cable 31. Also, when the indication signal is input, a switching section 45 selects a resistance corresponding to the destination device among resistances 44A<SB>1</SB>, 44A<SB>2</SB>-44N<SB>1</SB>, 44N<SB>2</SB>, and connects the resistance to the FPGA43. Then, the FPGA43 recognizes the resistance value of the resistance connected via the switching section 45, and performs impedance matching of the inter-device transmission path between the FPGA43 and the destination device by using the resistance value.
