ABSTRACT:
A first analog-digital converter circuit in a preceding stage converts an input analog signal into a digital value and retrieves the higher 4 bits. A second analog-digital converter circuit in a subsequent stage converts an input analog signal into a digital value and retrieves 3 bits including the 5th through 6th highest bits and a redundant bit, 3 bits including the 7th through 8th highest bits and a redundant bit, and 3 bits including the 9th through 10th highest bits and a redundant bit. Thus, the number of bits produced by conversion by the second analog-digital converter circuit in the subsequent stage of a cyclic type is configured to be smaller than the number of bits produced by conversion by the first analog-digital converter circuit in the preceding stage.
