A digital-to-analog converter, in which a plurality of reference voltages that differ from one another are grouped into first to (S+1)th reference voltage groups, includes a decoder and an amplifying circuit. The decoder includes: first to (S+1)th subdecoders for selecting respective ones of reference voltages corresponding to a value of a first bit group on an upper bit side of an input digital signal from the reference voltages of the first to (S+1)th reference voltage groups; and an (S+1)-input and 2-output type subdecoder for selecting and outputting two reference voltages out of reference voltages selected by the first to (S+1)th subdecoders, in accordance with a value of a second bit group on a lower side of the input digital signal. The amplifying circuit receives the two reference voltages as inputs and outputs a voltage level obtained by interpolation at a prescribed ratio.
