  • Patent number: 10263631
    Abstract: An analog to digital conversion device according to one or more embodiments may include sequential comparison type analog to digital converters, wherein each of the analog to digital converters converts an analog signal to a digital signal by repeating comparative voltage generation processing to generate a comparative voltage and comparison processing to compare the analog signal with the comparative voltage. Each of the analog to digital converters may include a noise notification part that generates a noise notification signal to give notification of noise production and inputs the noise notification signal to a different one of the analog to digital converters. At start of operation, based on the notification noise signal inputted from the different analog to digital converter, each of the analog to digital converters may be synchronized with the different analog to digital converter performing the comparative voltage generation processing and the comparison processing.
