PURPOSE: To reduce an installation space by decreasing quantity of transmission paths.
CONSTITUTION: Three transistors(TRs) 1, 2, 3 are provided to a unit A. A collector of the TR 1 connects to a transmission line 4. Collectors of the TRs 2, 3 are both connected to a transmission line 5. A unit B is provided with comparators 6, 7, 8, resistors 9, 10 and reference power supplies 11, 12, 13. An inverting input terminal of the comparator 6 connects to the transmission line 4. An inverting input terminal of the comparator 6 is pulled down through the resistor 9 to form a transmission path for the open collector. Inverting input terminals of the comparators 7, 8 all connected to the transmission line 5. The inverting input terminals of the comparators 7, 8 are pulled down through the resistor 10. Then non-inverting input terminals of the comparators 6, 7, 8 are connected respectively to the reference power supplies 11, 12, 13.
