ABSTRACT:
A level conversion circuit includes an input buffer receiving an ECL level signal, a current mirror circuit receiving the output of the input buffer and a reference voltage and providing a converted CMOS level output signal, and a reference voltage generating circuit. The reference voltage generating circuit includes either a circuit for simulating at least portions of the input buffer, or it includes a circuit for providing a reference voltage to the current mirror circuit which varies in accordance with the level of the input signal.
