Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter that converts an inputted analog signal into a digital value is disclosed that may include unit circuits that each generate reference voltages comprising regular potential intervals by a series resistor circuit connected between a high potential side reference voltage and a low potential side reference voltage and convert the reference voltages into a digital value by comparing the reference voltages with the inputted analog signal, and an adder that adds the digital values converted by the unit circuits. Each unit circuit may include coupling switches that couple the series resistor circuit with the series resistor circuit of another one of the unit circuits and connect the series resistor circuits between the high potential side reference voltage and the low potential side reference voltage and a sharing switch that shares the inputted analog signal with the other unit circuit that is coupled with the series resistor circuit.
