Abstract
In a signal potential converter, a capacitor receives an input signal CIN at one terminal thereof and has the other terminal thereof connected to a terminal node. A clamp circuit defines a potential (signal IN) at the terminal node within the range of a first potential to a second potential. The clamp circuit includes a level adjuster circuit configured to adjust at least one of the first and second potentials according to a supply voltage of a circuit that drives the input signal CIN.
