A level shift circuit includes first and second inverters and an inversion
circuit. The first inverter has a first input terminal and a first output
terminal for generating the output signal. The first inverter includes a
first transistor having a first current driving capacity. The second
inverter has a second input terminal connected to the first output
terminal and a second output terminal connected to the first input
terminal. The second inverter includes a second transistor having a
second current driving capacity smaller than the first capacity. The
inversion circuit has an output terminal connected to the first input
terminal. The inversion circuit receives an input signal including a
first input signal and a second input signal one of which is a one-shot
pulse signal. The inversion circuit includes a third transistor having a
third current driving capacity smaller than the first capacity and larger
than the second capacity.
