Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a control circuit of an equalizer configured to set a first amount to a linear equalizer, determine a second amount optimizing a non-linear equalizer with respect to a first signal generated by the linear equalizer to which the first amount is set, set the second amount to the non-linear equalizer, update an amount from the first amount to a third amount smaller than the first amount based on a magnitude of the first amount, set the third amount to the linear equalizer, determine a fourth amount optimizing the non-linear equalizer with respect to a second signal generated by the linear equalizer to which the third amount is set, and update an amount from the second amount to the fourth amount.

Claim (Index 10):
A control method of an equalizer circuit comprising a linear equalizer configured to linearly amplify a certain band within a reception signal, and a non-linear equalizer configured to determine a value of an output signal of the linear equalizer based on a clock signal, and to feed back a determination result of the value to the output signal, the control method comprising:\n setting a first control amount to the linear equalizer; generating a first signal by the linear equalizer to which the first control amount is set; determining a second control amount for optimizing an equalization characteristic of the non-linear equalizer with respect to the first signal; setting the second control amount to the non-linear equalizer; updating a control amount to be set to the linear equalizer from the first control amount to a third control amount that is smaller than the first control amount based on a magnitude of the first control amount; setting the updated third control amount to the linear equalizer; generating a second signal by the linear equalizer to which the third control amount is set; determining a fourth control amount for optimizing the equalization characteristic of the non-linear equalizer with respect to the second signal; and updating a control amount to be set to the non-linear equalizer from the second control amount to the fourth control amount.
