Abstract

Disclosed is a level shift device. The level shift device to convert an input signal having a low-voltage level into an output signal having a high-voltage level includes a latch-type level shifter and a voltage generator. The latch-type level shifter includes two upper pull-up P channel transistors and two lower P channel transistors to prevent the gate-source voltage breakdown of the two upper pull-up P channel transistors. The two upper pull-up P channel transistors and the two lower P channel transistors form a latch structure. The voltage generator generates a voltage to prevent the gate-source voltage brake down of the two upper pull-up P channel transistors and provides the voltage to the gate electrodes of the two lower P channel transistors.
