Abstract

A comparison circuit includes a comparator having a first input terminal receiving a first input voltage through a first capacitor, and a second input terminal receiving a second input voltage through a second capacitor, and an output terminal. A first switch has one end connected to the first input terminal and is turned on in a sample phase to set a voltage of the first input terminal as a voltage of the output terminal. A second switch has one end connected to the second input terminal and is turned on in the sample phase to set a voltage of the second input terminal as a reference voltage. A third switch is turned on in a comparison phase to equalize voltages of the other end of the first switch and the other end of the second switch.
