1. A transceiver, comprising:

  • a clock signal line;

    data signal lines;

    a transmitter that transmits a clock signal and data signals by the aid of the clock signal line and the data signal lines; and

    a receiver that receives the clock signal and the data signals which are transmitted from the transmitter by the aid of the clock signal line and the data signal lines,wherein the transmitter includes a encoder circuit that transmits a bit sequence obtained by encoding link information to the clock signal line, andwherein the receiver includes an extractor circuit that extracts a clock component from the signal that is received from the clock signal line, a decoder circuit that decodes the extracted signal to reproduce the link information, and a deskew circuit that adjusts a skew that is lower than one bit on the basis of the clock component.
