There is a need to provide an AD converter capable of reducing occurrence of a noise. An AD converter includes an operational amplifier and a clip circuit. The operational amplifier receives ramp voltage and voltage for an analog signal and allows output terminal voltage to transition from an H level to an L level when a change in the ramp voltage reaches the voltage for the analog signal. The clip circuit fixes an output terminal of the operational amplifier to clipping voltage after output voltage for the operational amplifier reaches threshold voltage for a latch circuit. Therefore, the AD converter can limit a range of output voltage, as a source of noise, for the operational amplifier and eliminate an unnecessary change in the output voltage after the threshold voltage for the latch circuit is reached.
