Abstract:
A majority decision circuit includes: a majority decision unit configured to compare first data with second data to decide whether one of the first data and the second data has more bits with a first logical value; and an offset application unit configured to control the majority decision unit so that the majority decision unit decides, in a case when the number of bits with the first logical value among the first data is equal to the number of bits with the first logical value among the second data, that the first data have more bits with the first logical value if offset is a first setting value in a first phase and decides that the second data have more bits with the first logical value if the offset is a second setting value in a second phase.

An analog-to-digital converter includes a comparison unit that outputs a result obtained by comparing a voltage of an input node with a comparison voltage; 1st to Nth capacitors having one ends connected to the input node, respectively; and 1st to N−1th voltage selection units corresponds to the 2nd to Nth capacitors, respectively and applies one of a voltages of a 1st node, a 2nd node, and the comparison voltage to the other ends of the corresponding capacitors. An input signal is sampled to the input node, the 1st to N−1th voltage selection units select one of the voltages of the 2 nodes and convert a part of the input signal into a 1st digital signal, and the 1st to N−1th voltage selection units select one of the voltages of the 2 nodes and convert the remaining part of the input signal into a 2nd digital signal.
