The cycle processing unit converts an analog input signal into a digital signal having a plurality of bits by performing a plurality of cycle processing on the analog input signal to acquire values of each bit in order from a higher-order bit to a lower-order bit. The control unit controls the cycle processing unit such that a period of the cycle processing is shortened according to a cycled number of the cycle processing.
