Abstract
An equalizer includes a first discrimination circuit to receive an input signal corresponding to a signal output from a transmit-side equalizer to binarize the input signal by a first threshold value in unit time, a second discrimination circuit to binarize the input signal by a second threshold value in unit time, a first delay circuit to delay an output signal of the first discrimination circuit and that includes N-number (N>=2) of stages of unit delay circuits connected in cascade and operating in unit time, a second delay circuit to receives an output signal of the second discrimination circuit and that includes not less than an (N+1)-number of stages of unit delay circuits connected in cascade and operating in unit time, and a control unit that receives an output of the first delay circuit, and a second output signal output from the second delay circuit.
