Abstract
A semiconductor device according to this disclosure includes: a comparator circuit; a counter circuit; and a latch circuit that stores a count value of the counter circuit at a timing when an output signal of the comparator circuit changes, the counter circuit includes: a multiphase signal generator; and a plurality of flip-flop circuits including a first-stage flip-flop and second-stage and subsequent flip-flops, the first-stage flip-flop takes in an inverted signal of an output signal of a flip-flop in a final stage and each of the second-stage and subsequent flip-flops takes in an output signal of a flip-flop in a preceding stage in synchronization with each of the plurality of clock signals, and an output signal of each of the plurality of flip-flop circuits is output as a count signal of the count value.
