An AD converter includes a first DAC circuit, a second DAC circuit, a comparison circuit, a control circuit, and a control switch. The comparison circuit is connected to a first output node of the first DAC circuit and a second output node of the second DAC circuit and compares an electric potential of the first output node with an electric potential of the second output node. The control circuit controls the first DAC circuit and the second DAC circuit in accordance with a result of the comparison acquired by the comparison circuit. The control switch controls turning on and off of connection between a first input node of the first DAC circuit and a second input node of the second DAC circuit.
