Abstract:
An A/D converter includes an adder that calculates a difference between an analog input signal and a predicted value, a quantizer that quantizes the difference output from the adder to convert the analog input signal to a digital signal, a prediction filter that generates a predicted value from the digital signal output from the quantizer, and a D/A converter that converts the predicted value from a digital signal to an analog signal and output the predicted value to the adder. The predicted value before being subjected to conversion to the analog signal by the D/A converter defines and functions as an A/D converted output of the analog input signal input to the adder.

Claim (Index 11):
The sensor apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the D/A converter includes:\n a plurality of the capacitors connected in parallel; wherein the plurality of capacitors include terminals on one side that are connected to the connection point such that the connection point is common to the terminals and a capacitance thereof has a weight; and the D/A converter performs D/A conversion of a voltage value at the connection point to an analog voltage value corresponding to the predicted value by selecting voltages to be applied to terminals on another side of the respective capacitors.
