Abstract:
An SAR analog-to-digital conversion circuit includes: first and second CDACs; first to third comparators respectively comparing outputs of the first and second CDACs, output levels of the first and third CDACs with a reference level; an arithmetic operation circuit; and an SAR control circuit, wherein the SAR control circuit: at each step, determines in which of four ranges output levels of the sampled and held signals of the first and second CDACs are included, the four ranges corresponding to the conversion range being quartered, determines two bits of the digital data and adjusts the output levels of the first and second CDACs so that a level at ¼ or ¾ of the voltage range agrees with the intermediate level, and controls first and second switches so that the voltage range is set to be a conversion range at a next step.
