An A/D conversion unit includes an A/D converter, an analog offset
canceller connected to the input end of the A/D converter, and a digital
offset canceller connected to the output end of the A/D converter. The
analog offset canceller performs a coarse adjustment of offset canceling
voltage in the first stage of offset cancellation operation to largely
cancel out the offset voltage involved in the A/D conversion unit by
shifting the range of the input signal. Then the digital offset canceller
performs a fine adjustment of offset canceling voltage in the second
stage of offset cancellation operation to completely cancel out a
residual offset voltage. Through the offset cancellation operation, the
linearity error of the A/D converter, linearity error of the D/A
converter, and matching error between the A/D and D/A converters are
completely cancelled out.
