Abstract

An AD conversion circuit includes a comparison circuit, a first DA conversion circuit including a plurality of resistance elements, and a first voltage output circuit. A comparator of the comparison circuit outputs a signal that represents a result of comparing a first voltage of a first input terminal with a second voltage of a second input terminal. A first combined resistance value of the first DA conversion circuit and the first voltage output circuit seen from a second terminal of the first capacitance element is a first value when the first capacitance element holds a first signal. The first combined resistance value is a second value when the comparator compares the first voltage with the second voltage. The first value is less than the second value.
