Abstract

See full text

A parallel-type AD converter includes: a plurality of comparators that receive comparison reference potentials different from one another and compare the comparison reference potentials and received analog input signals; an encoder that encodes outputs of the plurality of comparators to output digital signals; and a resistor ladder circuit that resistance-divides a reference voltage to generate the comparison reference potentials and supplies the comparison reference potentials to the comparators through output nodes each positioned between resistors, and is designed to supply a correction current corresponding to noise currents that the comparators generate to the output nodes of the comparison reference potentials in the resistor ladder circuit, and thereby the noise currents that the comparators generate are offset by the correction current, a bias current in the resistor ladder circuit can be decreased, and accuracy deterioration in AD conversion can be suppressed.
