Abstract

An adaptive equalizer circuit includes an equalizer circuit configured to produce an output data signal in response to an equalizing factor, a data detecting circuit configured to detect a signal level of the output data signal in a given unit time at predetermined timing, a boundary detecting circuit configured to detect a signal level of the output data signal at a timing that is ½ unit time away from the predetermined timing, and a control unit configured to detect, multiple times, a pattern having consecutive data items of a first value followed by a data item of a second value, and to adjust the equalizing factor such that a data detection value and a boundary detection value obtained for the data item of the second value are equal to each other a certain percentage of times, and are different from each other substantially the same percentage of times.
