A cyclic AD converter having a conversion processing speed or conversion accuracy designed no higher than necessary. In the AD converter, an input analog signal is held by a sample-and-hold circuit, and converted into a digital value by an AD conversion circuit. A DA conversion circuit converts the digital value output from the AD conversion circuit into an analog value. A subtractor circuit outputs the difference between the analog value output from the AD conversion circuit and the analog value held in the sample-and-hold circuit. An amplifier circuit amplifies the output of the subtractor circuit, and feeds back the resultant to the sample-and-hold circuit and the AD conversion circuit. In the course of this feedback-based cyclic processing, an amplification control circuit changes the gain of the amplifier circuit in accordance with the progress of the circulation.
