A semiconductor integrated circuit including an A/D converter capable of
converting an analog signal accepted through an external terminal into a
digital signal. The A/D converter includes: a ladder-type resistor for
generating a reference voltage; a set of first operational amplifiers,
each accepts an output voltage of the ladder-type resistor; a set of
first switches, each capable of short-circuiting an input terminal and an
output terminal of corresponding one of the first operational amplifiers
thereby to allow an offset correction of the corresponding first
operational amplifier to be made; and a comparator circuit for comparing
an output voltage of each of the first operational amplifiers with the
analog signal. The A/D converter can reduce a current output from the
ladder-type resistor and speed up charge and discharge of the sampling
capacitor.
