Claim Text:
1. A reception circuit, comprising: a first determination unit configured to determine a first amplitude level of an input data signal in synchronization with a first clock; a second determination unit configured to determine a second amplitude level of the input data signal in synchronization with a second clock which has a first phase difference with respect to the first clock; a phase detector configured to detect a phase relationship between the input data signal and the second clock based on the first amplitude level and the second amplitude level; a first phase adjuster configured to adjust a phase of the first clock according to a detection result of the phase detector; a second phase adjuster configured to adjust a phase of the second clock so that the second clock follow an amplitude level transition point of the input data signal according to the detection result; a correction unit configured to correct a skew generated between the first clock and the second clock which arrive at the first determination unit and the second determination unit; and a correction amount determination unit configured to determine a correction amount corresponding to the skew in the correction unit according to the detection result when the first phase difference is set to zero.
