DA converter and DA conversion method

摘要

To reduce distortion of output analog signals generated at a current-output DA converter. A DA converter that outputs a differential analog signal corresponding to an input digital signal is provided, including: a current output unit outputting a current corresponding to the digital signal to each of first and second wires; a converting unit outputting, as positive-side and negative-side analog signals, voltage signals based on currents flowing through the first and second wires, respectively; a first noise reducing unit having: a first switch switched to be or not to be electrically connected with the first wire; and a first buffer provided between the first switch and a reference potential; and a second noise reducing unit having: a second switch switched to be or not to be electrically connected with the second wire; and a second buffer provided between the second switch and the reference potential.
