The present invention relates to a successive approximation register (SAR)-type analog-digital converter (ADC), which can amplify a residual voltage without a non-linearity problem caused by an output voltage of a residual voltage amplifier, thereby performing high-resolution analog-digital conversion at low power consumption. The SAR-type ADC may include: a coarse/fine SAR conversion unit configured to receive an analog input voltage and convert the received voltage into an MSB digital signal in a coarse SAR conversion mode, and receive a feedback voltage and convert the received voltage into an LSB digital signal in a fine SAR conversion mode; and a residue integration unit configured to repeatedly amplify a residual voltage with a predetermined gain by a predetermined number of times and output the amplified voltage as a final target multiple, the residual voltage corresponding to a voltage difference between the analog input voltage and an analog voltage obtained by converting the digital signal into an analog signal.
