Abstract:
1. A receiving apparatus comprising: a differential amplifier adapted to receive differential signals having been differentially converted to single-ended convert the received differential signals into a single-ended signal; and a logic circuit adapted to: ternary discriminate an amplitude level of the single-ended signal at a first ternary discrimination timing that is between a first binary discrimination timing included in a plurality of binary discrimination timings at one unit interval and a timing one unit interval prior to the first binary discrimination timing; ternary discriminate an amplitude level of the single-ended signal at a second ternary discrimination timing that is between the first binary discrimination timing and a timing one unit interval after the first binary discrimination timing; binary discriminate an amplitude level of the single-ended signal at the first binary discrimination timing, by using the results of the ternary discriminations of the amplitude level of the single-ended signal at the first ternary discrimination timing and the second ternary discrimination timing; and output a binary signal corresponding to the result of the binary discrimination.
