Abstract:
To reduce power consumption of an analog-to-digital converter in which a comparator is provided. An analog-to-digital converter includes a comparator and a mode control unit. The comparator is configured to generate a comparison result by comparing an analog signal to a threshold indicating a boundary of a predetermined range in a determination mode and convert the analog signal into a digital signal in a conversion mode. The mode control unit is configured to transition the determination mode to the conversion mode in a case in which the comparison result indicating that the analog signal is not within the predetermined range is generated.

Claim (Index 4):
The analog-to-digital converter according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the analog signal is a single end signal, the predetermined control signal includes a positive-side control signal and a negative-side control signal, the selection unit supplies one of the positive-side control signal and the negative-side control signal as the selection signal in the conversion mode, and the digital-to-analog conversion unit generates the positive-side output signal and the negative-side output signal from the analog signal, the predetermined selection signal, and the other of the positive-side control signal and the negative-side control signal.
