Abstract
Errors in a cyclic analog to digital converter are reduced. An analog to digital converter is a cyclic analog to digital converter for converting an analog input signal into a digital output signal by performing a plurality of times of cycle processing on the analog input signal. A cycle processing unit performs the cycle processing and outputs a digital signal indicating a value of each bit of the digital output signal. An output circuit receives the digital signal output from the cycle processing unit and outputs, as an output signal, a signal obtained by inverting the digital signal every other cycle. A signal input to the cycle processing unit in second and subsequent cycles is generated in the cycle processing in a previous cycle. In the cycle processing, processing for inverting the signal input to the cycle processing is performed.
