Abstract: A multi-lane serializer device 1 includes serializer circuits 101 to 10N and a controller 20. A phase difference detector of each serializer circuit detects a phase difference between a load signal and a first clock, and outputs an abnormal detection signal to the controller 20 when the detected phase difference is abnormal. When the controller 20 receives the abnormal detection signal from any of the serializer circuits, the controller 20 transmits a batch reset instruction signal to all the serializer circuits. Then, in all the serializer circuits, when a reset signal generator receives the batch reset instruction signal output from the controller 20, the reset signal generator transmits a reset instruction signal to a load signal generator to reset the operation of a load signal generation in the load signal generator.
