Provided is an emphasis circuit capable of obtaining a desired emphasis amount with which waveform deterioration of an output signal in a high frequency band (high frequency band deterioration) is suppressed without increasing power consumption (current consumption). In the emphasis circuit, a baseband amplifier section and a peaking amplifier section are connected in parallel to each other, and respective drive current setting sections are adjusted to adjust respective drive current values thereof so that the sum of the drive current value of the baseband amplifier section and the drive current value of the peaking amplifier section may be constant.

An optical receiver of wide-dynamic range characteristic that stably reproduces a burst signal having different light receiving levels. A preamplifier converts an output from a light receiving element into a voltage signal. A level detecting circuit includes: a first level detecting unit having a shorter time constant; and a second level detecting unit having a longer time constant and switching over to any of the level detecting units in response to a time constant switching signal to detect a voltage level of an output voltage signal output from the preamplifier. An amplifier variably controls conversion gain of the preamplifier based on the detecting result. A time constant switching control outputs the time constant switching signal to the level detecting unit based on the output voltage signal from the preamplifier, to select the first level detecting unit or the second detecting unit based on a number of consecutive identical digits being equal to, smaller, or larger than the predetermined number.

A first average detecting circuit detects an average of output signals of a pre-amplifying unit that controls an amplification gain based on a result of comparison between an output of the first average detecting circuit and a predetermined reference voltage. A discriminating circuit receives an output signal of the pre-amplifying unit as an input signal and performs a signal discrimination of the input signal based on a threshold. A second average detecting circuit detects an average of input signals to the discriminating circuit. The discriminating circuit receives an output of the second average detecting circuit as the threshold.
