A voltage level converter device for the conversion of an input signal, which is at a first voltage level, into an output signal, which is at a second voltage level that differs from the first voltage level, where the voltage level converter device has at least one transistor, and in which an additional transistor, controlled by a control signal at a voltage level corresponding to that of the input signal, is provided in a current path that is to be accordingly switched on or off when the output signal switches over for switching that path on or off.
