ABSTRACT:
A voltage level converting circuit for outputting an output signal of a write voltage level responsive to a read voltage level input signal comprises an inverter circuit biased with a power supply of the first voltage level. The input signal is supplied through a transfer gate circuit. A MOS transistor is provided between the input of the inverter circuit and a power supply of the write voltage level to pull-up the voltage level of the input to the inverter circuit responsive to the output of the inverter circuit. Another MOS transistor is provided between the output of the inverter circuit and ground to pull-down the output voltage level responsive to the input signal.
