Abstract:
A level shift circuit includes: a constant-current generation unit; a current mirror unit that flows the constant-current through first and second lines; and a level shift unit that receives first and second input signals, the first input signal being varied between first and second logic levels and having first and second potentials at the first and second logic levels respectively, the second input signal being a phase-inverted signal of the first input signal, the level shift unit producing first and second output signals that are acquired by shifting a signal level at the first logic level of the first and second input signals from the first potential to the power supply potential, the level shift unit outputting the first output signal from a node on the second line and outputting the second output signal from a node on the first line. The constant-current generation unit includes a current adjustment circuit which varies the constant current value depending on a variation in the first potential.

Claim (Index 5):
The level shift circuit according to  claim 2 , wherein\n said level shift unit includes a transistor pair comprising a pair of transistors of a second conductivity type connected to said first line and said second line; one transistor of said transistor pair has a source terminal connected to said second potential, a drain terminal connected to said first line, and a gate terminal to which said first input signal is inputted; and the other transistor of said transistor pair has a source terminal connected to said second potential, a drain terminal connected to said second line, and a gate terminal to which said second input signal is inputted.
