A low power consumption DA converter includes a segment type DA converter and an R-2R resistance ladder DA converter. The segment type DA converter is coupled to a power source voltage VDD and outputs a current signal changing in a stepwise manner according to inputted upper bits D[7 to 5]. The R-2R resistance ladder DA converter is coupled to the segment type DA converter in series between the power source voltage VDD and a ground voltage GND, and outputs an output voltage Vout changing in a stepwise manner. The R-2R resistance ladder DA converter changes the output voltage Vout by raising or lowering a reference voltage Vref according to the lower bits D[4 to 0] and the current signal from the segment type DA converter. |
