DAC includes a decoder that receives N number of reference voltages and an n-bit digital signal (n 4) to select first to third voltages, and an operational amplifier to output (first voltage+second voltage+2 third voltage)/4 voltage. The operational amplifier is able to output, for respective 2^n combinations of the n-bit digital signal, voltage levels from an Ath level, as a base level, to an (A−1+2^n)th level. The N number of reference voltages include Ath level, (A+4)th level, (A−4+2^n) and (A+2^n), and an at most {−4+2^(n−2)} reference voltages obtained by decimating a pre-set at least one reference voltage from {−3+2^(n−2)} reference voltages that are other than the four number of reference voltages from the {1+2^(n−2)} reference voltages corresponding to the voltage levels spaced each other at an interval of 4 levels from the Ath level. N is not less than 4 and not more than 2^(n−2).

Reference voltages of a reference voltage ensemble are classed into first to (z×S+1)th reference voltage groups, where S is a power of 2 inclusive of 1 and z is a power of 2 plus 1. A decoder includes first to (z×S+1)th sub-decoders provided in association with the first to (z×S+1)th reference voltage groups, and a (z×S+1) input and 2 output type sub-decoder. The first to (z×S+1)th sub-decoders select, from the reference voltage of the first to the (z×S+1)th reference voltage groups, those reference voltages allocated to columns in a two-dimensional array of the reference voltages associated with the values of a first bit group of an input digital signal. The (z×S+1) input and 2 output sub-decoder receives outputs of the first to (z×S+1)th sub-decoders to select the first and second voltages from the reference voltages selected by the first to (z×S+1)th sub-decoders in response to the value of a second bit group of the input digital signal. An interpolation circuit receives the first and second voltages, selected by the decoder, to output a voltage level obtained on interpolation with an interpolation ratio of 1:1 (FIG. 1).

Disclosed is a level shift circuit that includes a first level shifter which is connected between an output terminal and a first power supply terminal that supplies a first voltage and sets the output terminal to a level of the first voltage when an input signal received at an input terminal assumes a first value; a second level shifter which is connected between the output terminal and a second power supply terminal that supplies a second voltage and sets the output terminal to a level of the second voltage when the input signal assumes a complementary value of the first value; and a feedback control unit that performs control of deactivating the first level shifter during a predetermined time interval including a point of time when the input signal is supplied when it is detected that the output terminal immediately before the input signal is received at the input terminal assumes the first voltage level. When the input signal supplied in the predetermined time interval assumes a value that sets the output terminal to the second voltage level, the second level shifter sets the output terminal to the second voltage level with the first level shifter deactivated.
