Abstract:
The resolution of a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter is varied in a wide range. Provided is a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter including a digital-to-analog converter that generates an analog voltage based on a digital code, a comparator to which the analog voltage as the output of the digital-to-analog converter is inputted, a DAC control circuit that generates the digital code of an input voltage sampled from an external clock signal by successively changing the digital code based on the output of the comparator, a delay circuit that starts the determination of the comparator by signal transition generated by delaying the signal state change of the output of the comparator, a clock generation circuit that generates a signal starting the determination of the comparator, and a selector circuit that selects a signal generated by the delay circuit or a signal generated by the clock generation circuit to feed the selected signal to the comparator.

Claim (Index 9):
The successive approximation analog-to-digital converter according to  claim 8 , further comprising a selector for the registers for switching the timing signal fed to the plurality of registers,\n wherein the selector for the registers performs switching in synchronization with the selector circuit.
