An A/D conversion apparatus performs motor current detection in an A/D
conversion period corresponding to two phases out of three phases of a
sinusoidal drive motor, using reduced register resources while minimizing
the number of A/D converters. The A/D conversion apparatus includes: a
selection unit selecting one of a plurality of input channels; an A/D
converter converting an analog signal from the selected input channel to
a digital signal; a start register holding a start channel number of
sequential conversion; an end register holding an end channel number of
the sequential conversion; a prohibition information holding unit holding
prohibition information indicating an input channel to be excluded from
the sequential conversion; and a control unit causing the selection unit
to select, in channel number order, input channels corresponding to
channel numbers from the start channel number to the end channel number
except the input channel indicated by the prohibition information.
