A signal reception circuit capable of detecting and receiving a signal at a
high speed having small amplitude, and a data transfer control device and
electronic equipment using the same. A differential pair of reception
signals DP and DM is detected by an HS_SQ_L circuit for low speed having
high receiving sensitivity and an HS_SQ circuit for high speed having high
speed response performance. In the case of a high-speed reception signal,
a logical product of a signal HS_DataIn fetched by an HS differential data
receiver and a signal HS_SQ indicating the result of signal detection by
the HS_SQ circuit for high speed is supplied to a DLL circuit. In the case
of a low-speed reception signal, an FS differential receiver is activated
after the detection of differential pair of reception signals DP and DM by
the HS_SQ_L circuit for low speed. A signal FS_DataIn fetched by the FS
differential receiver is supplied to an FS circuit.
