Title:
AD CONVERTER CIRCUIT AND OPTICAL SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/029841
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An AD converter circuit (20) comprises a differential amplifier section (21), a first variable capacitance section (22A), a second variable capacitance section (22B), a comparator section (23), a connection control section (24), and first and second feedback sections (25A, 25B). A voltage value outputted as a differential signal from first and second output terminals of the differential amplifier section (21) is converted into a 6-bit digital value by a sequentially comparing AD converter circuit (constituted of the first and second variable capacitance sections (22A, 22B), the comparator section (23), and the connection control section (24)) and the digital value is outputted. Potential difference between a first common point (P1) and a second common point (P2) is fedback to the differential amplifying section (21) through the first and second feedback sections (25A, 25B) and again converted into a 6-bit digital value by the sequentially comparing AD converter circuit.
