A light receiving circuit includes: a light receiving element that receives an optical signal and converts into an electrical signal; a comparator that demodulates the information on the optical signal to a pulsed signal; a band limit circuit disposed between the light receiving element and the comparator, the band limit circuit removing noise components of frequency higher than the pulsed signal; and a comparator threshold circuit disposed between the light receiving element and the comparator, the comparator threshold circuit generating a threshold of the comparator and limiting the threshold of the comparator within a binary range.
