Abstract
High data-rate magnetic coupling communication is realized with a small circuit size without sacrificing the communication distance. A received data acquisition circuit performs a decision-feedback equalization process on a received signal to obtain a shaped signal, and also performs sampling of the shaped signal with a sampling rate equal to or higher than a self-resonant frequency, according to a sampling clock, to obtain a data sample. A midpoint sample acquisition circuit performs sampling of the received signal at an intermediate timing of a sampling timing of the received data acquisition circuit to obtain a midpoint sample. A phase adjustment circuit adjusts a phase of the sampling clock, based on the data sample and the midpoint sample.
