Abstract
A self-calibration-function-equipped AD converter that does not require a measurement device for calibration includes: a control unit including a calibration control unit configured to control an operation of calibrating the self-calibration-function-equipped AD converter, and a conversion control unit configured to control an operation of converting an input voltage to be subjected to conversion into a digital signal; a reference voltage unit configured to output a reference voltage; and an integration/conversion unit including an integrating unit configured to generate an integration voltage obtained by integrating two or more types of unit voltages, a comparator that has two inputs and is configured to compare the integration voltage and the input voltage or the reference voltage, and a crossbar switch configured to switch a connection depending on whether the integration voltage is to be input to one input of the comparator and the input voltage or the reference voltage is to be input to another input, or the input voltage or the reference voltage is to be input to the one input of the comparator and the integration voltage is to be input to the other input.
