According to one embodiment, a receiving system includes a first receiving circuit and a second receiving circuit each receiving a differential signal with a positive phase signal and a negative phase signal, and a controller controlling the first and second receiving circuits. The first receiving circuit comprises a first differential amplifier outputting a first signal in a first time frame in which a polarity of the differential signal does not change dependent on a passage of time. The second receiving circuit comprises a second differential amplifier outputting a second signal in a second time frame in which the polarity of the differential signal changes dependent on the passage of time.
