ABSTRACT:
There is provided a technique for reducing the adverse effect of idle tones in the channels in a ΔΣ-type A/D converter including a plurality of channels for converting analog input signals into digital signals. The ΔΣ-type A/D converter includes an L channel for converting a left analog input signal into a digital signal and an R channel for converting a right analog input signal into a digital signal. Each of the L channel and the R channel includes a DC dither circuit for generating a DC addition voltage for shifting the frequency of an idle tone. In the L channel and the R channel, DC addition voltages generated by DC dither circuits are different from each other.
