The present invention provides a terminator circuit including a potential variation detecting section that detects a variation in a potential at an end point to which an input signal is supplied, and a first current generating section that reduces an overshoot at the end point which is caused by the application of the input signal, by pulling a current from the end point, when the potential variation detecting section detects a rise in the potential at the end point. Here, the potential variation detecting section includes a comparison potential generating section that generates a comparison potential based on a reference potential, and a potential comparing section that compares the comparison potential which has risen in accordance with the rise in the potential at the end point, with the reference potential, and outputs a result of the comparison.
