Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter includes a comparator having paired differential input ends, and a first capacitor and a second capacitor each provided at respective differential input ends. The first capacitor includes a plurality of first sub-capacitors that are coupled side by side with one another, and the second capacitor includes a plurality of second sub-capacitors that are coupled side by side with one another. The plurality of first sub-capacitors and the plurality of second sub-capacitors are mixedly arranged in each column of a plurality of columns.
