摘要： An A/D converter includes a resistor network generating a reference voltage, a level detector for detecting the level of an input analogue signal with a reference voltage from the resistor network as a reference, and an encoder for providing a digital signal by encoding the output of the level detector. The level detector includes a plurality of comparators for bilevel-processing the input analogue signal with a preselected voltage from the resistor connection nodes of the resistor network as a reference voltage. The resistor network comprises a plurality of resistor elements between a first node receiving a first reference voltage and a second node receiving a second reference voltage, which are interconnected to provide a voltage from an associated connection node that is 1/2.sup.j times the difference between said first reference voltage and said second reference voltage. The comparator includes capacitors for providing the difference between the input analogue signal and the reference voltage by a capacitor coupling, and an inverter amplifier for determining the positive or negative of the voltage change generated by the capacitors. This structure implements an A/D converter of high precision with less elements.

摘要： A single sampling switch i provided for a plurality of sample/hold function-equipped comparators. Thus, when the sampling switch is turned on, an analog signal is fed to each sample and hold circuit, and when it is turned off, the analog signal fed in at that time is sampled and held in each sample/hold function-equipped comparator. The analog signal values sampled and held in the sample/hold function-equipped comparators are averaged when the averaging switch is turned on. In this manner, since the timing for sampling and holding is controlled by the single sampling switch, a smaller number of switching elements are sufficient and the possibility of the timing for sampling and holding differing between the sample/hold function-equipped comparators is eliminated.

摘要： A serial-parallel type AD converter comprises a first parallel type AD converting portion determining a higher order bit of a digital signal, a second parallel type AD converting portion determining a lower order bit of the digital signal and error correcting circuit. In the first parallel type Ad converting portion, a shifter is connected between a first determining circuit and a first encoder. In the second parallel type AD converting portion, a selector is connected between three second voltage comparator groups and a second determining circuit. The error correcting circuit applies control signals to the shifter and the selector for correcting errors derived from sampling skew of analog input voltages. The shifter determines the connection between the first determining circuit and first encoder in response to the control signal. The selector connects one of the three voltage comparator groups to the second determining circuit in response to the control signal.

摘要： A semiconductor integrated circuit device having an analogue signal processing circuit and a digital signal processing circuit formed on a single semiconductor substrate is disclosed. As an example of the analogue signal processing circuit, a voltage comparator is described. Being liable to be affected by noise, an inverter 2 is formed of an NMOS transistor 41 and a resistance R. For transistor 41 is formed in a well region having a conductivity type (p) opposite to the conductivity type of the substrate (n), it is not easily influenced by noise transmitted through the substrate. Therefore, a voltage comparator independent of the adverse effect of noise from the digital signal processing circuit is obtained.

摘要： Low-order reference potentials including high-order reference potentials (VRT, VRB, VC0 to VC6) generated from a ladder resistor and potentials (V(i, j) (i=0 to 7, j=0 to 6)) are applied to potential lines, respectively, to be transmitted by various switches to analog bus lines (FR0a to FR14a) or analog bus lines (FR0b FR14b). The low-order reference potentials are applied to the analog bus lines (FR0b to FR14b) when it is judged that a sample signal potential falls in voltage zones (Z0 to Z3) as a result of comparison with the high-order reference potentials and are applied to the analog bus lines (FR0a to FR14a) when it is judged that the sample signal potential falls in voltage zones (Z4 to Z7). This provides for reduction in the number of switches connected to each analog bus line and in parasitic capacitance, so that a settling time of the low-order reference potentials is shortened. High-speed operation of a series-parallel A-D converter is achieved.

摘要： A reference voltage generating circuit is disclosed which generates a plurality of linear analog voltages and is desirably applied to A/D and D/A converters. As the reference voltage generating circuit itself or a resistor network comprised therein, a resistor network is employed which comprises a plurality of resistor elements connected in series between two power sources and resistor networks (or resistor elements) connected to all the other nodes than the two nodes closest to the two power sources, respectively, out of the nodes between the former resistor elements. The above-mentioned plurality of resistor elements have the same resistance value r and the output impedance (or resistance value) of the resistor networks (or resistor elements) connected to all the nodes above is set to a value twice the resistance value r of the above-mentioned resistor elements, or 2r. Accordingly, output impedance at any of the nodes between said plurality of resistor elements represents 2.multidot.r/3. A a result, inequality of output impedances between the output terminals of the reference voltage generating circuit can be improved.
