Abstract
A level shifter circuit a first transistor connected between a power source terminal of the level shifter circuit and an output terminal of the level shifter circuit, the first transistor being configured to transmit, in response to a first signal and a second signal, a power source voltage applied from the power source terminal to the output terminal, the first signal being received from an input terminal of the level shifter circuit through a first gate of the first transistor, the second signal being received through a second gate of the first transistor, and a second transistor connected between a ground terminal of the level shifter circuit and the output terminal, the second transistor being configured to transmit a ground voltage from the ground terminal to the output terminal in response to a gate signal received through a gate of the second transistor.
