Abstract:
In an AD converter, a first capacitor DAC circuit performs a first operation in parallel with a second operation by a second capacitor DAC circuit, and the first capacitor DAC circuit performs the second operation in parallel with the first operation by the second capacitor DAC circuit. Electric charge corresponding to an input signal is sampled in the first operation. AD conversions are sequentially performed on the basis of the electric charge sampled in each first capacitor included in a plurality of first capacitors or each second capacitor included in a plurality of second capacitors in the second operation. The first capacitor DAC circuit and the second capacitor DAC circuit alternately perform the first operation and the second operation.
