Abstract
An electronic device is connectable with a host via a serial interface including a link configured with a plurality of lanes, each of which includes a differential signal wire pair for transmission and a differential signal wire pair for reception. The electronic device includes a plurality of transmitter circuits that respectively transmit data via the differential signal wire pair for transmission of each of the corresponding lanes, a plurality of receiver circuits that respectively receive data via the differential signal wire pair for reception of each of the corresponding lanes, and a control circuit. The control circuit causes a state of the electronic device to transition from a normal operation state to a state in which the plurality of transmitter circuits are maintained in an active state and the plurality of receiver circuits are in an inactive state except for one receiver circuit corresponding to one of the lanes.
