A product-sum operation circuit includes a pulse width/digital conversion circuit ( 9 ) which converts a pulse signal having a pulse width representing an operand value into a digital signal, a sorting circuit ( 4 ) which outputs, in descending or ascending order of magnitude, a plurality of operand values Xi converted into digital signals by the pulse width/digital conversion circuit ( 9 ), and an accumulated sum circuit ( 1 ) which multiplies each operand value output from the sorting circuit ( 4 ) by a corresponding operand value Wi and calculates the accumulated sum of multiplication results. The pulse width/digital conversion circuit ( 9 ) includes a counter ( 10 ) which counts a clock and outputs a count value as a digital signal, and n trailing edge latch circuits ( 11 - 0 - 11 -(n- 1 )) each of which latches a common count value output from the counter at the trailing edge of the input pulse signal.
