TRANSMISSION CIRCUIT, ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT, AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18449780 titled 'TRANSMISSION CIRCUIT, ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT, AND VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a transmission circuit that includes multiple terminals and variable resistance circuits.

  • The transmission circuit has a first terminal with a higher voltage and a second terminal with a lower voltage.
  • There are also a third and fourth terminal to which the second voltage is applied.
  • The circuit includes a first variable resistance circuit between the first and second terminals and a second variable resistance circuit between the third and fourth terminals.
  • A controller is used to control the resistance values of the variable resistance circuits based on transmission data.
  • The variable resistance circuits are made up of multiple series circuits of a resistor and a switch, arranged in parallel.
  • Each variable resistance circuit includes a charge adjuster that absorbs and discharges electric charge from the switches.


Original Abstract Submitted

A transmission circuit includes a first terminal to which a first voltage is applied, a second terminal, a third terminal, and a fourth terminal to which a second voltage lower than the first voltage is applied. The transmission circuit further includes a first variable resistance circuit between the first and second terminals, a second variable resistance circuit between the third and fourth terminals, and a controller that controls the resistance values of the first and second variable resistance circuits based on transmission data. The first and second variable resistance circuits are each a parallel circuit of a plurality of series circuits of a resistor and a switch. The first and second variable resistance circuits each include a charge adjuster that absorbs and discharges electric charge with respect to at least some of a plurality of switches.
