Abstract:
AD conversion is performed by using a combination of a parallel AD converter that includes a plurality of comparators to compare an input potential of an analog input signal sampled by a track and hold circuit and reference potentials different from one another and determines a value of a predetermined number of bits on the higher-order side of a digital signal and a single-slope AD converter that reduces the input potential of the analog input signal sampled by the track and hold circuit at a constant speed, converts a time taken until the reduced input potential becomes equal to a reference potential corresponding to the value determined by the parallel AD converter to a digital value, and determines a remaining value on the lower-order side of the digital signal, and thereby the number of bits of the single-slope AD converter can be reduced and high-speed AD conversion is enabled with a small area and low power consumption.
