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 6):
The circuit of  claim 1 , further comprising an eye monitor circuit that monitors an eye pattern, wherein\n the control circuit is configured to determine whether or not the third control amount is lower than a certain threshold, in a case where the third control amount is determined as not being lower than the certain threshold, recursively execute processing for updating the first control amount to the third control amount, processing for updating the second control amount to the fourth control amount, and processing for evaluating an aperture of an eye pattern of a third signal that is generated based on the third control amount and the fourth control amount so that the third control amount decreases in stages, and in a case where the third control amount is determined as being lower than the certain threshold, respectively set to the linear equalizer and the non-linear equalizer the third control amount and the fourth control amount that correspond to an eye pattern with the largest aperture.
