A data receiver circuit includes: a clock/data recovery circuit to recover a clock and data from a received signal; a fixed pattern generation circuit to generate fixed pattern data; a first selection circuit to select and output one of the fixed pattern data generated by the fixed pattern generation circuit and recovered data recovered by the clock/data recovery circuit; a second selection circuit to select and output one of a reference clock and recovered clock recovered by the clock/data recovery circuit; and a switching circuit to make the first selection circuit output the fixed pattern data and to make the second selection circuit output the reference clock, when an input signal is lost or the clock/data recovery circuit is in a loss-of-lock state.
