Abstract
An AD conversion apparatus includes an AD conversion unit; a reference voltage switching unit that is disposed between an output of a sensor and an analog input terminal of the AD conversion unit and is connectable to the output of the sensor and a plurality of reference voltage lines; and a control unit to control switching the reference voltage input to the AD conversion unit by connecting the reference voltage switching unit to one of the reference voltage lines and to the output of the sensor. An analog output value of the sensor is input to the analog input terminal of the AD conversion unit via the reference voltage switching unit and is converted into a digital value.
