RECEPTION APPARATUS

In a reception apparatus 1, a multiphase sampling clock signal is generated by a sampling clock signal generation circuit 40, based on a clock signal which has been phase-adjusted by a phase adjustment circuit 50. The data of each of the bits of a serial data signal is sampled and output by a sampler block circuit 30n, with timing indicated by the sampling clock signal. The amount of phase adjustment of the clock signal in the phase adjustment circuit 50 is set such that the delay time from generation of the multiphase sampling clock signal in the sampling clock signal generation circuit 40 until indication of the sampling timing by the sampling clock signal in the sampler block circuit 30n is canceled.
