Abstract
An embodiment target time comparison circuit corresponding to a target approximate voltage range among 2time comparison circuits in a second comparison circuit compares a comparison operation time difference included in voltage comparison results regarding two adjacent approximate voltage ranges that are vertically adjacent to the target approximate voltage range with 2reference times corresponding to 2specific voltage ranges and generates a target binary code of L bits indicating a target specific voltage range including the held voltage from the obtained time comparison results.
