Abstract
To provide a comparison circuit capable of removing the influence of an offset voltage of a comparator in the comparison circuit and obtaining a highly accurate comparison determination result even at a high temperature. A comparison circuit is equipped with a comparator including a first input terminal inputted with a first input voltage through a first capacitor and inputted with a third input voltage through a third capacitor, a second input terminal inputted with a second input voltage through a second capacitor and inputted with a fourth input voltage through a fourth capacitor, and an output terminal; a first switch which has one end connected to the first input terminal and is turned ON in a sample phase to switch the voltage of the first input terminal to a voltage of the output terminal; and a second switch which has one end connected to the second input terminal and is turned ON in the sample phase to switch the voltage of the second input terminal to a reference voltage.
