A level converter includes a cross-coupled section for holding data and a
first switching section connected in series with the cross-coupled
section and supplied with a differential input signal. The level
converter has a second switching section, a current mirror connection
section, a third switching section, and an input/output matching
evaluation section. The second switching section is connected in parallel
with the cross-coupled section, and the current mirror connection section
is connected in a current-mirror configuration with a transistor in the
second switching section. The third switching section is connected in
series with the current mirror connection section, and the input/output
matching evaluation section is used to control a transistor in the third
switching section by receiving the input signal and an output node
signal.
