1. A method of performing a predetermined operation for a circuit that includes a resistor group comprising a plurality of resistors that are connected in series, one end of the resistor group being configured for connection to a power supply unit, the other end of the resistor group being configured for connection to a sampling capacitor, and a parasitic capacitance existing at each node between the plurality of resistors, the method comprising:
in a forward process, determining a time when a sampling capacitor voltage applied to the sampling capacitor reaches a first reference voltage as a switching time;
at the switching time, connecting the sampling capacitor to a ground or predetermined voltage and floating the power supply unit;
in a backward process, after the switching time, determining a time when a power supply unit voltage applied to the power supply unit reaches a second reference voltage as an end time; and
performing the predetermined operation based on the end time.
