Abstract

A receiver circuit for sensing and transmitting input data in sync with a plurality of clock signals having mutually different phase sequentially enabled comprising a sense amplifier configured to receive, as offset voltages, first signals which can be obtained by amplifying the input data in sync with a first clock signal of the plurality of clock signals, being driven in sync with a second clock signal enabled subsequently to the first clock signal, and outputting second signals, and a discharging controller configured to control a discharging speed of the sense amplifier according to the offset voltages to control a driven speed of the sense amplifier.
