An object of this invention is to provide a D/A converter of a multibit type for improving its performance by reducing dispersion of the electric currents of plural electric current sources as much as possible. To achieve this object, the D/A converter has a constant electric current source (10) constructed by 2N (N=2, 3, - - - and here, N=16) constant electric current sources having constant electric current values equal to each other; selecting means (7, 8) for selecting Di constant electric current sources according to input data Di {here, Di=0, 1, 2, 3, - - - (2N-1)} having N-bits in input word length so as to use these 2N constant electric current sources one by one until a sum of values of one input data or continuous plural input data among these 2N constant electric current sources exceeds 2N; and electric current adding means (9) for adding each of the constant electric currents from the Di constant electric current sources selected by the selecting means to each other.
