Abstract:
A level-shift circuit converts a first voltage level into a second voltage level different from the first voltage level. The level-shift circuit includes a first high-side signal detection circuit, a second high-side signal detection circuit, a drive circuit and electric current detection circuits. The first high-side signal detection circuit sets a logical voltage state of the second voltage level via a first capacitor. The second high-side signal detection circuit resets the logical voltage state of the second voltage level via a second capacitor. The drive circuit on-off drives a high-side switch connected to a low-side switch in series by a set signal of the first high-side signal detection circuit and a reset signal of the second high-side signal detection circuit. The electric current detection circuits detect an electric current flowing into or from the first and/or second capacitors.
