Abstract

A receiver circuit capable of controlling setup/hold time includes a first phase transmission unit configured to generate a first output signal by detecting input data according to plural detection levels while being synchronized with a first clock signal, and controlling setup/hold time of the first output signal based on a level of a first offset voltage, a level converter configured to control a voltage level of the first output signal according to a first code, and a second phase transmission unit configured to receive an output signal of the level converter for as a second offset voltage while being synchronized with a second clock signal, to generate a second output signal by detecting the input data according to the detection levels, and to control setup/hold time of the second output signal.
