    摘要: An analog-digital conversion circuit is disclosed for comparing a comparison potential with a reference potential generated based on a reference power supply to convert a comparison potential to a digital value. An analog-to-digital converter generates the comparison potential based on a sampled and held input potential, the digital value, and the reference power supply. A current amount control unit controls current amount flowing to the current amount control element in each bit circuit. In response to second switches of the bit circuits being turned on in order from the upper bit in each bit circuit by the digital value, the current amount control unit applies a current control potential to the current amount control element in any of the bit circuits that the noise current is more than allowable value while the noise current proportional to the charge flowing from the capacitor is more than the allowable value.

    摘要: A light emitting device (1) includes: three or more light emitting units (10, 20, 30) that individually include blue light emitting element, a wavelength range of the blue light emitting element accommodated in respective packages being different from each other. The light emitting device mixes output lights from the light emitting units (10, 20, 30) to output white light of a predetermined chromaticity. In an xy chromaticity diagram, the chromaticity of the output light from each of light emitting units (10, 20, 30) is located at a distance from the predetermined chromaticity. The difference between the chromaticity of the output light from each of the light emitting units (10, 20, 30) and the predetermined chromaticity is not greater than 0.04.
