Abstract
An A/D converter comprises a D/A conversion circuit, a sample-holding circuit which samples and holds the output signal of the D/A conversion circuit, a substraction circuit which performs subtraction for the output signal of the D/A conversion circuit and the output signal of the sample-holding circuit, a subtracting-amplifying circuit which performs subtraction for the output signal of the substraction circuit and the input analog signal and amplifies the result of subtraction, a switch circuit which blocks the input analog signal to the subtracting-amplifying circuit, and an A/D conversion circuit which performs A/D conversion selectively for the input analog signal or the output signal of the subtracting-amplifying circuit.
