A successive approximation type of analog-to-digital converter fabricated
in a MOS type semiconductor integrated circuit includes a comparison
voltage generator for generating a comparison voltage to be compared with
an analog signal voltage, a comparator for sequentially comparing the
comparison voltage with the analog signal voltage to produce a comparison
result, and a comparison result processor for developing the comparison
result to an output register connected to a bus and feeding the
comparison voltage generator with a comparison voltage value determined
according to the comparison result. The comparator includes two sets of
P-channel transistors connected in serial. In each set, one transistor is
connected in parallel to, and larger in driving capacity than, the other
transistor. The one transistor is controlled in switching timing
different from the other transistor.
