Data transferring device

摘要

First and second nodes are coupled together by a bus. The first node includes a detecting circuit for detecting the maximum data transfer capability of a connected node, at least two receiving circuits for receiving data from the bus, and a controlling circuit for selecting, based on an output signal from the detecting circuit and for optimizing the configuration of a receiving unit so as to bring the other of the receiving circuits to a stop. The second node includes a transmitting circuit for transmitting data to the bus and a notifying circuit for notifying the first node of its own maximum transfer capability.
