Summary:To provide a sequential comparison type analog/digital converter capable of making suppression of glitch in a D/A converter compatible with reduction of power consumption.SOLUTION: A D/A conversion circuit 11 holds an analog input voltage Vin and outputs a differential voltage Vo between a reference voltage Vcn corresponding to an analog conversion value of a control signal of a plurality of bits D to D and the analog input voltage Vin. A comparator 15 outputs a comparison signal cmp which is a digital signal based on the differential voltage Vo. A sequential comparison register circuit 20 holds the comparison signal cmp with a conditional passing latch and generates the plurality of bits D to D of the control signal based on an output signal of the conditional passing latch in a plurality of timing corresponding to the plurality of bits. The conditional passing latch includes a function for determining whether to pass to the output signal or hold a value the inputted comparison signal cmp.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】D/Aコンバータでのグリッチの抑制と低消費電力化とを両立可能な、逐次比較型のアナログデジタル変換器を提供する。【解決手段】D/A変換回路11は、アナログ入力電圧Vinを保持するとともに、複数ビットの制御信号D<0>~D<n>のアナログ変換値に対応する基準電圧Vcnとアナログ入力電圧Vinとの差分電圧Voを出力する。比較器15は、差分電圧Voに基づくデジタル信号である比較信号cmpを出力する。逐次比較レジスタ回路20は、条件付通過性ラッチによって比較信号cmpを保持するとともに、複数ビットにそれぞれ対応した複数のタイミングでの条件付通過性ラッチの出力信号に基づいて、制御信号の複数ビットD<0>~D<n>をそれぞれ生成する。条件付通過性ラッチは、入力された比較信号cmpの値を出力信号に通過させるか保持するかを決める機能を有する。【選択図】図1
