An A/D converter includes: a plurality of A/D conversion circuits (10 a,
10b); an input selection section (20) for selecting the A/D conversion
circuit that is not executing A/D conversion to supply analog amounts
obtained by sample-holding an input signal; and an output selection
section (30) for selecting the A/D conversion circuit that is not
executing A/D conversion to output digital amounts obtained from the
selected one. Each A/D conversion circuit includes: an input memory
portion (11) for sequentially storing the supplied analog amounts in a
plurality of analog memory elements (111); an A/D conversion portion (12)
having a plurality of A/D conversion elements (121) for converting the
analog amounts stored in the analog memory elements to digital amounts;
and a shift output portion (13), having a plurality of registers (131)
receiving the digital amounts from the A/D conversion elements to hold
the digital amounts, for shifting and outputting the digital amounts held
in the registers.
