Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter circuit comprising:N number of voltage comparators, each of said N number of voltage comparators having a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal, an input signal being supplied to said first input terminals of said N number of voltage comparators, and N number of different reference voltages being supplied to said second input terminals of said N number of voltage comparators, respectively, wherein said analog-to-digital converter circuit converts outputs of said N number of voltage comparators into digital data and outputs the digital data; andN-n1 (n1>1) number of first resistors for connecting the output terminals of said N number of voltage comparators, said first resistors being arranged in accordance with levels of said N number of reference voltages, each of said N-n1 number of first resistors connecting the output terminals of two of said N number of voltage comparators which are positioned away from each other by n1 number of voltage comparators.
