Abstract
A decision feedback equalizer includes a comparator configured to output a constant voltage in a reset period and to output a differential voltage corresponding to differential input signals in an evaluation period, a latch circuit configured to hold the differential voltage in the evaluation period, and an adjuster configured to adjust a logical threshold of the latch circuit closer to the output voltage in the reset period.
