Abstract
An A/D converter includes a noise detector for generating a noise detection signal when it detects noise in an A/D conversion reference voltage; an A/D operation controller for generating a bit-shift signal in response to the noise detection signal; and an A/D conversion module for discarding an A/D conversion resultant bit affected by noise in response to the bit-shift signal, for holding the remaining A/D conversion resultant bits, and for restarting the A/D conversion from the discarded A/D conversion resultant bit after the noise becomes negligible. The A/D converter can obtain reliable A/D conversion data against the noise in the A/D conversion reference voltage without increasing the circuit scale so much.
