- a feedback capacitor Cf is connected between the output terminal of the NOR gate G1 and the input terminal of the final stage inverter INV3.
- the NOR gate G1 is provided because the output of the inverter INV3 becomes an intermediate potential between the high level and the low level when the switch S3 is turned on during the sampling, so that it becomes a circuit in the subsequent stage (such as a successive approximation register). This is to prevent transmission.
- the switches S1, S2, and S3 are turned on during the sampling period, and the input and output of the inverters INV1, INV2, and INV3 are short-circuited.
- the potential is equal to the threshold value VLT. Therefore, in the sample and hold circuit S & H, the switch SS1 on the input terminal side is turned on by the sampling clock ⁇ s.

Therefore, it can be seen from the above formula (2) that the gain increases as the power supply voltage Vdd increases and the effective voltage increases, and the gain decreases as the power supply voltage Vdd decreases and the effective voltage decreases.
- the hysteresis increases as the voltage Vdd is higher and the inverter gain is larger from the equation (1), and the hysteresis is smaller as the voltage Vdd is lower and the inverter gain is smaller. Further, the gain of the inverter increases as the gain of the MOS transistor increases. Therefore, it can be said that the comparator of the above embodiment, in which the hysteresis becomes larger as the power supply voltage is higher in accordance with the fluctuation of the power supply voltage, is suitable for an AD conversion circuit used in a system having a large power supply voltage fluctuation.

Abstract
Description
この発明の他の目的は、チョッパ型コンパレータを備えたAD変換回路において、コンパレータに1LSB以下のヒステリシス特性を持たせることで、ヒステリシス付与に伴う変換誤差の増加を抑制できるようにすることにある。
Vhys=Vdd・Cf/(C2+Cf)・A1・A2 ……(1)
で表わすことができる。
Vhys=Vdd・Cf/(C2+Cf)・50・50=Vdd/10・210
より、Cf/(C2+Cf)≒1/4となるので、C2:Cf≒3:1程度に設定すれば良いことが分かる。
また、図1において、インバータINV1とINV2のそれぞれの入出力間に容量を付加して、インバータINV1,INV2のゲインを調整する構成とすることもできる。この場合には、調整した所定のゲインによる計算結果をもとにC2とCfの比率の設定ができる。容量はINV1,INV2のどちらか一方に付加してもよく、両方に付加しても良いが、INV1に付加した方がコンパレータCMPでのノイズ低減に大きな効果がある。
r0=(VA+Vds)/Ids
gm=2Ids/(Vgs-Vth)
より、MOSトランジスタのゲインG(=gm・r0)は、
G=2Ids・(VA+Vds)/(Vgs-Vth)・Ids
=2(VA+Vds)/(Vgs-Vth) ……(2)
で表わされる。この式において、分母の(Vgs-Vth)はMOSトランジスタのゲートにかかる実効電圧であり、この実効電圧は電源電圧Vddが高いほど大きく、Vddが低いほど実効電圧は小さくなる。従って、上記式(2)より、電源電圧Vddが高くなって実効電圧が大きくなるほどゲインは大きくなり、電源電圧Vddが低くなって実効電圧が小さくなるほどゲインは小さくなることが分かる。
