Abstract
While a switch SWis connected to 'a'-terminal side, offset of a differential output voltage 'A−' of a D/A converter() is held in a comparator, and is reflected to a reference voltage. Thereafter, the switch SWis switched to a “b”-terminal side, and offset of a differential output voltage “A+” of the D/A converter() is measured by the comparator. An error signal is outputted to a counterso as to count up the counter. Such an operation is repeatedly carried out in which the count value is added to 1.7 V and then the added count value is inputted into the D/A converter(), and such a count value latched in a latch at timing when the error signal is inverted is defined as an offset correction value.
