Level shift circuit
Abstract:
Provided is a high-reliability level shift circuit not prone to faulty operation due to noise. A level shift circuit 1 is provided with: first and second current control elements 12a and 12b into control terminals of which a reverse-phase input signal and an in-phase input signal are input, respectively; first and second load circuits 13a and 13b which are connected at one end to a high-side power source terminal Vb and at the other end to each of first terminals of the first and second current control elements 12a and 12b; a comparator 14 in which a pair of differential input terminals Np and Nn are connected separately to each of the first terminals of the first and second current control elements 12a and 12b; a current generating circuit 3 in which first and second current output terminals Na and Nb are connected to second terminals of the first and second current control elements 12a and 12b, and which separately generates a current which flows through the respective first and second current control elements 12a and 12b; and voltage suppressing circuits 15a and 15b which are connected separately or commonly to the first and second current output terminals Na and Nb, respectively, and suppress voltage from rising in the first and second current output terminals Na and Nb, respectively.
