Abstract
A mechanism is provided for dynamically adjusting DC offset at the time of deviation from DC balance ½ (DC level) in a data pattern including long-period consecutive bits generating DC offset in a section of data. A receiver circuit unit of an LSI having a serializer/deserializer arrangement for performing high-speed serial transmission includes an offset adjusting circuit. The offset adjusting circuit calculates DC balance in an arbitrary section of data by averaging received serial data. Based on comparison between a DC level and the DC balance obtained by averaging the received data, offset is shifted toward the H side when the DC balance exists on the H side from the DC level, and shifted toward the L side when the DC balance exists on the L side.
