The gate of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the other end of the ninth resistor R9, the other end of the tenth resistor R10, and the collector of the first switching transistor Q1. The source of the second switching transistor Q2 is grounded. The drain of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the other end of the eighth resistor R8 and the communication interface COM1.

[0016] Specifically, in this embodiment, the third switching transistor Q3 is an NMOS transistor.
