ABSTRACT:
In an analog-to-digital converter circuit of pipeline type configured by cascade-connecting a plurality of analog-to-digital conversion blocks, at least analog-to-digital conversion blocks at an initial stage excluding an analog-to-digital conversion block at a final stage have each a function as an amplifier and are switched by a control signal inputted externally so that the analog-to-digital conversion blocks each operates as the amplifier. When the analog-to-digital conversion blocks each having the function as the amplifier are each operated as the amplifier by the control signal, a digital signal is generated by using data outputted from an analog-to-digital conversion block provided subsequent to the analog-to-digital conversion blocks operating as the amplifiers.
