Abstract

See full text

A pipelined A/D converter circuit includes a sample hold circuit configured to sample and hold an analog input signal, and output a sample hold signal, and an A/D converter circuit including A/D converter circuit parts connected to each other in cascade, and performs A/D conversion in a pipelined form. The pipelined A/D converter circuit part of each stage includes a sub-A/D converter circuit, a multiplier D/A converter circuit, and a precharge circuit. The sub-A/D converter circuit includes comparators, and A/D convert the input signal into a digital signal of predetermined bits, a multiplier D/A converter circuit for D/A converting the digital signal from the sub-A/D converter circuit into an analog control signal generated with a reference voltage served as a reference value, sample, hold and amplify the input signal by sampling capacitors based on the analog control signal.
