In short, the voltage of the node AV does not reach the logic threshold voltage VLT due to the relatively large on-resistance of the MOS transistor 23 because the control signal ⁇ S1 — ⁇ Sn remains low because the boost operation is not in time. In this state, the sampling operation itself can be suppressed.
- the boosted voltage vdd2 is stabilized by the action of a relatively large stabilization capacitor 30.

- the enable signal ⁇ upc is asserted immediately in response to the rising edge of the reset signal RES (reset release) or the rising edge of the standby signal STB (standby release).

- the booster circuit 10 enable signal is synchronized with this detection signal VDTC. Issue ⁇ upc is asserted.
- the other timing is the same as in Fig. 5.
- FIG. 7 shows a block diagram according to a comparative example in which the boosting operation of the boosting circuit is performed in synchronization with ADC enable.
- the boost operation is started together with the start of the ADC sampling operation. Therefore, if the value of the stable capacitor 30 is large, the boost voltage reaches the specified voltage at the end of the sampling operation as shown in FIG. Otherwise, the AV of the ADC does not become the logic threshold voltage VLT of the CMOS inverter, which may cause a conversion error.
- the value of the stable capacitor 30 is reduced, the boosted voltage will not be stabilized even if the boosting operation is completed as shown in FIG. 9, which may cause a conversion error.
