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 6):
The analog-to-digital converter according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the comparison control unit generates the predetermined control signal in synchronization with a predetermined conversion clock signal from a conversion clock supply unit, and the determination unit controls the conversion clock supply unit in the determination mode such that generation of the predetermined conversion clock is started, and then transitions the determination mode to the conversion mode.
