Patent attributes
An A/D conversion circuit includes a continuous-time filter that performs a filtering process on an input signal, an SCF that is provided in a subsequent stage of the continuous-time filter and performs a filtering process utilizing the continuous-time filter as a prefilter, a cut-off frequency of the SCF being variably set corresponding to a frequency band of the input signal, an A/D converter that is provided in a subsequent stage of the SCF and performs an A/D conversion operation utilizing the continuous-time filter and the SCF as prefilters, and a digital filter that is provided in a subsequent stage of the A/D converter and performs a digital filtering process utilizing the continuous-time filter and the SCF as prefilters, a cut-off frequency of the digital filter being variably set corresponding to the frequency band of the input signal.
