Abstract: According to one embodiment, a storage device includes a first equalizer, a second equalizer, and an adjuster. The first equalizer compensates for a predetermined frequency band of a first signal transferred by a host via a storage interface and outputs the compensated first signal as a second signal. The second equalizer equalizes the second signal by decision feedback compensation. The adjuster adjusts the level of the frequency band compensation of the first equalizer based on the state of the decision feedback compensation.

Abstract: A connection control circuit having the function of controlling connection and disconnection of an information storage apparatus to and from a transmission line is constructed such that it uses a comparator to determine whether or not the level of operating clock signal output from a controller of the information storage apparatus is within a predetermined range, and if it is detected that the level of the operating clock signal departs from the predetermined range, the connection control circuit outputs a control signal to a by-pass circuit to disconnect the information storage apparatus from the transmission line loop. This enables the information storage apparatus to be disconnected from the loop even if the controller of the information storage apparatus does not function normally due to an abnormality of the clock or an abnormality of the power supply.
