The operation of the circuit configured as described above will be described. The operational amplifier 1 outputs the difference between the input analog signal V i and the output V a of the D / A converter 5 as it is to output V
d . When there is a difference, the comparator 2 inverts and outputs, so that it is input as the up / down signal of the counter 4. When the counter is incremented, the data is incremented by 1, the output of the D / A converter is also increased, and the differential output V d of the operational amplifier 1 is reduced. In this way, the loop from the operational amplifier 1 to the D / A converter 5 is in a balanced state, and the output V a of the counter 4 is used as upper data.
A resolution finer than the least significant digit of the counter 4 is obtained by the A / D converter 3 and used as lower data. Then, the digital value may be obtained by combining the upper data and the lower data.
