Abstract

The problem of the present invention is, in a plural-number order delta sigma D/A converter, not to cause click noise upon performing mute operation at no-signal input idling and hence to eliminate the necessity of a circuit for removing this.In order to perform sequence operation for rendering zero an output signal by lowering the order of a loop filter in order when stopping the operation of a plural-number order delta sigma D/A converter, 1st-order differentiators corresponding to each order and switch means for rendering inputs to these 1st-order differentiators zero are provided in the loop filter.
