A digital-to-analog converter of reduced number of elements and smaller
area includes a reference voltage generating circuit for outputting a
plurality of reference voltages having voltage values that differ from
one another; a first logic circuit for outputting the result of a logical
operation on a first bit group comprising even-numbered bits (or
odd-numbered bits) of an input digital data signal composed of a
plurality of bits; a second logic circuit for outputting the result of a
logical operation on a second bit group comprising the odd-numbered bits
(or even-numbered bits) of the input digital data signal composed of the
plurality of bits; a switch group circuit for supplying first and second
terminals with voltages selected, inclusive of voltages that are
identical, from among the plurality of reference voltages, which are
output from the reference voltage generating circuit, in accordance with
respective outputs from the first and second logic circuits; and an
amplifier circuit for outputting an output voltage that is the result of
applying a predetermined operation to voltages supplied to the first and
second terminals.
