A TAD (time analog/digital) type of A/D converter has plural
series-connected delay units each producing a delay in accordance with
the level of a converter input voltage, with a first-stage delay unit
receiving a pulse signal at commencement of each A/D conversion sampling
interval, and a latch/encoder circuit detecting the total number of delay
units traversed by the pulse signal by the end of the sampling interval,
to obtain a numeric value expressing the input voltage level. To ensure
uniformity of the delays of the delay units, these are formed using
transistors of larger size than transistors of other circuits such as the
latch/encoder circuit.
