An interface circuit inputting and outputting data and a clock that have multiple speeds is provided with an equalizer capable of changing a circuit parameter, a frequency detection part detecting a clock frequency, and a parameter calculation control part calculating an appropriate circuit parameter according to the clock frequency and controlling the equalizer. The frequency detection part detects at what frequency the interface circuit is operating presently and sends the frequency to the parameter calculation control part. The parameter calculation control part calculates the circuit parameter of the equalizer so that the interface circuit operates optimally at the detected frequency, and sets the circuit parameter to the equalizer. In this manner, since the circuit parameter of the equalizer in the interface circuit can be controlled appropriately according to the frequency of the input and output clock, optimum operation is always available.
