Abstract

A dither circuit including an adder for receiving an input signal and a dither signal which is generated by a dither signal generator, a level detection circuit for detecting the signal level of the input signal, and a dither control circuit for stopping the feeding of the dither signal to the adder when the level detection circuit detects that the signal level of the input signal is zero.
