ABSTRACT:
A signal transmitting circuit includes one or more circuit blocks having a driving circuit and an intra-block transmission line for transmitting a signal produced by the driving circuit, one or more circuit blocks having a receiving circuit and an intra-block transmission line for transmitting the signal to said receiving circuit, and a main interblock transmission line for propagating a signal between both of the driving and receiving circuit blocks. Inter-block transmission line is terminated at one or two ends by one or two resistors having substantially the same impedance as the interblock transmission line itself. Each of the intra-block transmission line is provided with a resistance element having a resistance equal to or close to a value derived by subtracting a half of an impedance of the inter-block transmission line from an impedance of the intra-block transmission line, to lower signal amplitude and suppress reflections of a signal at branch points along the main interblock transmission line, thereby enabling a high-speed signal transfer.
