A level conversion circuit includes a differential pair of first and
second transistors receiving differential input signals; a current mirror
section; and a CMOS-type latch circuit. The current mirror section
includes a first current mirror circuit receiving output current from the
first transistor to output a first mirror current; a second current
mirror circuit receiving output current of the second transistor to
output a second mirror current; a third current mirror circuit receiving
the second mirror current to output a third mirror current to a first
output terminal of differential output terminals; and a fourth current
mirror circuit receiving the first mirror current to output a fourth
mirror current to a second output terminal of the differential output
terminals.
