Abstract:
A communication apparatus includes: a terminal to which a pulse signal is input from an external apparatus; an acquiring unit configured to acquire a count value during a first cycle that is a cycle of the pulse signal; and a transmitting unit configured to, during a period of data transmission, increase or decrease an electric current that flows between the communication apparatus and the external apparatus according to a data value of data to be transmitted. The transmitting unit is further configured to perform switching on the data to be transmitted at least once during the first cycle, and determine a data switch timing during the first cycle based on the count value.

Claim (Index 10):
A communication apparatus comprising:\n a first terminal that outputs a reference voltage to an external apparatus; a generating unit configured to generate a pulse signal; a second terminal that outputs the pulse signal generated by the generating unit to the external apparatus; and a determining unit configured to determine a data value of data transmitted from the external apparatus by comparing an electric current that flows between the communication apparatus and the external apparatus via the first terminal with a threshold value during a period of data transmission from the external apparatus, wherein the generating unit is further configured to generate a pulse signal of a first cycle during the period of data transmission from the external apparatus, and the determining unit is further configured to determine a determination timing of determining the data value of the data transmitted from the external apparatus during the period of data transmission from the external apparatus based on a period obtained by dividing the first cycle by a predetermined integer.
