ABSTRACT:
An analog/digital converter circuit including a capacitor having a first end, to which an analog voltage is applied, and a second end, an input buffer circuit having an input terminal, connected to the second end of said capacitor, and an output terminal, a reference voltage generating circuit for generating a plurality of reference voltages having different voltage levels, a voltage comparator circuit having a plurality of voltage comparators for comparing the output voltage of the input buffer circuit with each of the reference voltages generated by the reference voltage generating circuit, and generating a digital signal corresponding to the comparison results, a decoder circuit for decoding the output of the voltage comparator circuit, and D.C. bias voltage selection/supply circuit for selecting one of the reference voltages of the reference voltage generating circuit and supplying the selected reference voltage as a D.C. bias voltage to the input terminal of the input buffer circuit.
