PURPOSE: An analog/digital converter is provided to output analog/digital signal by carrying out circulation with returning the signal voltage, which passed the circuits, to a subtracting machine and thereby the fast speed is maintained and the resolution accuracy is improved. CONSTITUTION: The analog/digital converter includes a multi- level comparator and a linear priority encoder etc. When the analog voltage is permitted to the subtracting machine, the output of the subtracting machine is evenly distributed to the multi-level comparator. Each comparator compares the output with the reference voltage and the L functional value is output. When the functional value data passes through the linear priority encoder and is stored temporarily, it is reversed into the H functional value and is output and then it return to the subtracting machine. The linear priority encoder outputs the L functional value to the priority bit through the low-ranking bit from high-ranking bit. If the output of the comparator to be compared is Vout
