Abstract
A D/A converter for converting a given digital signal into an analog signal includes a plurality of capacitors (C1, C2 . . . , Ci) for storing an electric charge corresponding to a predetermined reference voltage (Vr+or Vr-). The reference voltage is selected depending on the digital signal during a period when a clock .phi.1 is at a high level. A switch selection (SUG1-SUGi, SB) is used to connect each of the plurality of capacitors between an input terminal and an output terminal of an operational amplifier 100 during a period when a clock +2 is at a high level.
