ABSTRACT:
An analog/digital (A/D) converter includes a sequential approximation register (SA register) having a plurality of bits for storing the results of conversion in digits and an incrementor having a smaller number of bits than that of the SA register. The incrementor increments a portion of the results of conversion on the basis of the result of conversion of at least one bit in the SA register so as to minimize an error in the A/D conversion of a smaller number of bits than that of the SA register.
