Abstract
A re-timer (a signal processing device) includes: a receiver that receives a signal; a transmitter that transmits the signal received by the receiver; and a controller. The receiver includes an equalizer circuit that compensates attenuation of the signal received. The transmitter includes a noise cancelling circuit that reduces noise included in a processed signal generated in the receiver. The controller: detects a threshold voltage of a transistor included in the re-timer; when the threshold voltage detected is lower than or equal to a predetermined voltage value, sets a current of the equalizer circuit to be lower than or equal to a predetermined current value and deactivates the noise cancelling circuit; and when the threshold voltage detected is higher than the predetermined voltage value, sets the current of the equalizer circuit to be higher than the predetermined current value and activates the noise cancelling circuit.
