First Claim
1. A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising:
- an A/D conversion unit;
a digital correction unit operable to output an A/D conversion result by performing digital correcting to a digital output received from the A/D conversion unit; and
a holding unit operable to hold a test signal to the A/D conversion unit,wherein the A/D conversion unit is of a charge sharing type and operable to perform successive approximation,wherein, at the time of a test, a test signal with the same analog value from the holding unit is inputted into the A/D conversion unit in a first period and a second period different from the first period, a first dither signal is inputted into the A/D conversion unit in the first period, and an A/D conversion correction coefficient is determined, on the basis of a first digital correction result in the digital correction unit to a first digital output from the A/D conversion unit in the first period and a second digital correction result in the digital correction unit to a second digital output from the A/D conversion unit in the second period, andwherein, at the time of a normal operation, the digital correcting is performed with the use of the A/D conversion correction coefficient determined at the time of the test.

Abstract
A digital-correction-type A/D converter which is a charge sharing type and performing successive approximation is realized in a small area. The A/D converter is configured with an A/D conversion unit which is a charge sharing type and performing successive approximation, a digital correction unit which receives a digital output of the A/D conversion unit and performs digital correction to the digital output, and a holding unit which holds a test signal. A test signal of a common value from the holding unit is inputted into the A/D conversion unit in the first period and the second period. The A/D conversion correction coefficient for the digital correction unit is calculated on the basis of the digital correction result of the digital correction unit in the first period, and the digital correction result of the digital correction unit in the second period.
