Abstract
A level shifting circuit includes a transistor output unit that receives a first power supply signal and convert the first power supply signal to a second power supply signal having a different level from the first power supply signal and a current provision unit that provides a current to an output terminal of the transistor output unit when the first power supply signal of the transistor output unit is inputted to shorten a prolonged portion of the second power supply signal. Therefore, the level shifting circuit may provide an additional current to the output terminal of the transistor output unit to shorten a prolonged portion of the output voltage.
