A DA converter circuit is provided for use in a .DELTA..SIGMA. AD
modulator. The DA converter circuit includes a DA converter of segment
switched capacitor type. The DA converter includes an operational
amplifier, capacitors as connected in parallel to each other to supply
electric charges to the operational amplifier, an electrically charging
switch for switching of electrically charging electric charges onto the
respective capacitors or not, and an electrically discharging switch for
switching or not electrically discharging electric charges from the
respective capacitors or not. A switch device performs either one of the
electrically charging, the electrically discharging, grounding, and
polarity inversion onto the respective capacitors. A controller controls
the electrically charging switch, the electrically discharging switch and
the switch device to execute a process of second-order DWA algorithm for
performing a second-order noise shaping of a non-linearity of the DA
converter circuit.
