Abstract:
A cyclic A/D converter 21 provides an amplification type noise cancellation process and cyclic A/D conversion in which a plurality of capacitors and an operational amplifier are shared without complicated processing. In the cyclic A/D converter 21, a gain stage 23 uses first to third capacitors 33, 35 and 37 and an operational amplifier circuit 39 to perform the process for noise cancellation and amplification to generate a difference signal between first and second signal levels. In the process for noise cancellation, the difference between the first signal level VR and the second signal level VS is generated. The amplification of this difference is carried out in conjunction with the process for noise cancellation. The gain stage 23 uses the first to third capacitors 33, 35 and 37 and the operational amplifier circuit 39 to perform the process for cyclic A/D conversion of the difference signal. A sub A/D converter circuit 25 receives a signal VOP from an output (e.g., a non-inverting output) 39a of the operational amplifier circuit 39.
