ABSTRACT:
A level converter comprising an input circuit, coupled to a low power source and a first high power source, which generates a complementary first signal and second signal; and a shift circuit that outputs an output signal generated by shifting a voltage level of the input signal, the shift circuit including: a latch circuit having: a first inverter circuit provided in a first path between a second high power source and the low power source; and a second inverter circuit provided in a second path between the second high power source and the low power source, wherein the latch circuit is formed by coupling an input terminal and an output terminal of the first inverter circuit and the second inverter circuit; a first transistor coupled to the first path; and a second transistor coupled to the second path.
