A/D conversion device and A/D conversion method
Abstract:
An amplifier performs analog amplification on a signal I_A with a gain corresponding to a state GS and outputs the amplified signal as a signal M_A. An ADC converts the signal M_A to a digital signal and outputs the digital signal as a signal M_D. Analog comparators and a down-determination unit detect that the signal M_A exceeds a first level, and cause the state GS to transition to a state of gain of the next lower stage. Digital comparators and an up-determination unit detect that the signal M_D has been continuously lower than a second level for a predetermined period, and cause the state GS to transition to a state of gain of the next higher stage. The restoration circuit performs digital amplification on the signal M_D with a gain corresponding to the gain of the amplifier and outputs the amplified signal as a signal O_D.
