Receiver and semiconductor integrated circuit having the same

A receiver comprising:

• a pulse detection circuit that detects a pulse signal having a positive amplitude and a pulse signal having a negative amplitude, which are transmitted from a transmitter through an AC-coupling element;
• a positive pulse determination circuit, which includes:
• a first SR latch circuit, which uses a set input terminal to input the second detection result, uses a reset input terminal to input an inverted signal of the first detection result, and uses an output terminal to output a first intermediate signal;
• and
• a first logical AND circuit, which outputs the logical AND of the first detection result and an inverted signal of the first intermediate signal as a first determination result;
• a negative pulse determination circuit, which includes:
• a second SR latch circuit, which uses a set input terminal to input the first detection result, uses a reset input terminal to input an inverted signal of the second detection result, and uses an output terminal to output a second intermediate signal;
• and
• a second logical AND circuit, which outputs the logical AND of the second detection result and an inverted signal of the second intermediate signal as a second determination result;
• and
• a data generation section that generates data in accordance with the first and second determination results.
