Abstract
A circuit device includes an A/D converter circuit that performs A/D conversion by successive approximation using a charge redistribution type D/A converter circuit having capacitor array circuits on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side, and quantization error hold circuits that hold charges corresponding to a quantization error in the A/D conversion. The quantization error hold circuits include quantization error hold circuits on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side having one ends connected to sampling nodes of the capacitor array circuits on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side. The quantization error hold circuits on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side are placed on a second direction side orthogonal to a first direction in which the capacitor array circuits on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side are placed.
