Abstract

A digital-to-analog (D/A) converter includes first resistors coupled in series, second resistors respectively coupled to the first resistors and each having a resistance twice as large as the resistance of the first resistor, and first switch circuits respectively coupled to the second resistors. Third resistors each have a resistance twice as large as the resistance of the first resistor. Second switch circuits each are coupled to the third resistors and a GND wire. A control circuit controls the first and second switch circuit in accordance with the digital input signals to set a state of a connection node to either one of a first voltage, a second voltage, and a high impedance.
