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 14):
The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:\n determining whether or not an aperture of an eye pattern of a third signal that is generated based on the third control amount and the fourth control amount satisfies a particular condition; in a case of determining that the particular condition. is satisfied, recursively executing processing for updating the first. control amount to the third control amount, and processing for updating the second control amount to the fourth control amount so that the third control amount decreases in stages; and in a case of determining that the particular condition is not satisfied, respectively setting to the linear equalizer and the non-linear equalizer the third control amount and the fourth control amount that correspond to an eye pattern lastly determined to have satisfied the particular condition.
