Further, a second insulating layer 320 is provided on the first wiring layer 60 and the dummy wiring layer 310, and a second wiring layer 330 is provided on the second insulating layer 320. The second wiring layer 330 is indicated by hatching in FIG. In addition, the second wiring layer 330 is connected to the first wiring layer 60 via a second contact hole 340 formed in the second insulating layer 320.
- the area where the dummy wiring layer 310 faces each of the first to third resistors 20 to 40 is defined as S 1, S 2, and S 3 respectively.
- the areas where the second wiring layer 330 faces the first to third resistors 20 to 40 are denoted by S4, S5, and S6, respectively.
- the fifth embodiment relates to a D converter using the D / A converter according to the present invention.
- An A / D converter using a D / A converter is known, and examples thereof include a successive approximation type A / D converter 400 shown in FIG.
- the 8/0 converter 400 includes a sampling circuit 401 for sampling an analog signal, a D / A converter 402, and a comparator for comparing the outputs of the sampling circuit 401 and the D / A converter 402. Evening 403, a sequence circuit 405 that outputs various timing signals based on the clock from the oscillator 404, and a sequential circuit that controls the D / A converter 402 based on the output of the comparator 403 according to the timing signal from the sequence circuit 405. And a comparison register 406.
