A first amplifier circuit samples and holds an input analog signal and outputs the same to a subtracting circuit. An AD converter circuit converts the input analog signal into a digital value so as to retrieve a predetermined number of bits. A DA converter circuit converts the digital value derived from conversion by the AD converter circuit into an analog value. A subtracter circuit subtracts an output analog signal from the DA converter circuit from the analog signal input via a first switch or the first amplifier circuit. A second amplifier circuit amplifies an output analog signal from the subtracter circuit by a gain of 2 and outputs the amplified signal. An input switching circuit controls the order of inputs, i.e. the input analog signal and a reference voltage, to voltage comparison elements constituting the Ad converter circuit.
