Abstract:
An A/D conversion unit performs an A/D conversion operation twice during a hold period of an analog value. In a first conversion operation, the A/D conversion unit compares the analog value with a first reference voltage and outputs a comparison result as first converted data. In a second conversion operation, the A/D conversion unit compares the analog value with a second reference voltage and outputs a comparison result as second converted data. The second reference voltage is a voltage obtained by adding or subtracting a minimum resolution voltage to or from the first reference voltage. A digital processing unit averages errors of the first and second converted data by digital processing to detect an A/D conversion error, and feeds back a detection result to the A/D conversion unit as a control value to perform voltage control.
