Abstract:
To reduce power consumption of a sequential comparison analog-to-digital converter. An analog-to-digital converter includes a sequential conversion unit, a determination unit, and a stop control unit. The sequential conversion unit is configured to sequentially generate a predetermined number of bits of a value corresponding to an analog signal when the analog signal is input. The determination unit is configured to determine whether a value of a digital signal including the predetermined number of bits is within a predetermined range whenever the bits are generated. The stop control unit is configured to stop the sequential conversion unit in a case in which the value of the digital signal is not within the predetermined range.

Claim (Index 7):
The analog-to-digital converter according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the stop control unit generates a predetermined end signal in a case in which the value of the digital signal is not within the predetermined range or a case in which the predetermined number of bits are output, and the reference signal control unit stops a process of changing a value of the reference signal in accordance with the predetermined end signal.
