The comparator compares the first signal with a third signal to output a fourth signal. The delay circuit delays a fifth signal by a delay time to generate a sixth signal. The first capacitor is connected between a voltage source and a first node that provides the third signal. The second capacitor is connected between the first node and a second node that provides the second signal. The first switch is connected between the second node and a constant current source, and is controlled by the fourth signal and the fifth signal. The second switch is connected between the first node and the second node, and is controlled by the fifth signal and the sixth signal.

According to an embodiment, an analog-to-digital (AD) converter includes a first AD conversion unit, a selector and a second AD conversion unit. The first AD conversion unit performs AD conversion of an analog signal in a first period to generate an upper-bit digital signal. The selector selects not less than one reference voltage based on the upper-bit digital signal to obtain a selected reference voltage group in a voltage range narrower than a full scale. The second AD conversion unit performs AD conversion of the analog signal by using the selected reference voltage group. The first period starts before settling of the analog signal up to an accuracy corresponding to a total resolution of the first AD conversion unit and the second AD conversion unit.

According to an embodiment, an analog-to-digital converter includes a first AD (analog-to-digital) conversion circuit and a second AD conversion circuit. The first AD conversion circuit performs AD conversion of a first input signal to generate an upper-bit digital signal. The second AD conversion circuit performs AD conversion of a sampled signal to generate a lower-bit digital signal. The sampled signal is obtained by sampling a residual signal corresponding to a residue of the AD conversion in the first AD conversion circuit. A period during which the second AD conversion circuit performs AD conversion of the sampled signal overlaps a period during which a second input signal subsequent to the first input signal is settled.

According to an embodiment, a power supply noise cancelling circuit includes a generator, a first multiplier, a subtractor and a digital-to-analog converter. The generator generates a sine wave signal. The first multiplier multiplies a digital input signal by a digital signal based on the sine wave signal to generate a first digital product signal. The subtractor subtracts a digital signal based on the first digital product signal from the digital input signal to generate a digital difference signal. The digital-to-analog converter performs a digital-to-analog conversion on the digital difference signal to obtain an analog output signal.
