Abstract

A ΣΔ analog-to-digital converter has a ΣΔ modulation section which executes ΣΔ modulation, and a digital filter which filters a digital signal output from the ΣΔ modulation section. The digital filter has gain properties that one of dips of a gain of the digital filter corresponds to a noise frequency which is, for example, the commercial frequency 60 Hz. Especially, the lowest frequency of the dips corresponds to the noise frequency.
