Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor integrated circuit includes first and second level shift circuits. The first level shifter includes a plurality of transistors and is connected to a power source voltage supply node of a first power source system and to which a first signal of a second power source system and a level inversion signal of the first signal are input. The second level shifter includes a plurality of transistors and is connected to the power source voltage supply node of the first power source system and to which the level inversion signal of the first signal of the second power source system and an output signal of the first level shifter are input. The first and second level shifters have substantially the same circuit configuration and driving abilities of corresponding ones of the transistors in the first and second level shifters are substantially set equal.
