Abstract:
According to an embodiment, an arithmetic device includes a comparator, M cross switches, and M coefficient circuits. The comparator compares a first voltage generated at a first comparison terminal and a second voltage generated at a second comparison terminal. The M cross switches are provided corresponding to the M input signals. The M coefficient circuits are provided corresponding to the M coefficients, and each includes a first constant current source and a second constant current source. Each of the M cross switches performs switching between a straight state and a reverse state. In each of the M coefficient circuits, the first constant current source is connected between a positive output terminal of the corresponding coefficient circuit and a reference potential, and the second constant current source is connected between a negative output terminal of the corresponding coefficient circuit and the reference potential.
