A data receiving circuit and a data receiving method accurately acquire a data signal corresponding to information data from a high speed high density transmitted signal. An increase or a decrease of the level of one of a amplified data signal and a level converted data signal that is transmitted from one, referred to as one processing stage, of an amplification processing stage and a level converting processing stage, is fed back to a stage preceding the one processing stage. The amplification processing stage supplies, to a first line, an amplified data signal obtained by performing an amplification processing on a received data signal, and the level converting processing stage transmits, via a second line, a level converted data signal obtained by performing a level converting processing on the amplified data signal.
