Provided is a voltage level shift circuit including: a first voltage level shift circuit formed of a P-channel enhancement type transistor (M 1 ) and an N-channel depletion type MOS transistor (M 3 ); and a second voltage level shift circuit formed of a P-channel enhancement type transistor (M 2 ) and an N-channel depletion type MOS transistor (M 4 ). In the voltage lever shift circuit, a cascode circuit using an N-channel depletion type transistor (M 5 ) is serially connected to the first voltage level shift circuit, a cascode circuit using an N-channel depletion type transistor (M 6 ) is serially connected to the second voltage level shift circuit, and a unit for complementarily controlling bias voltages of the respective cascode circuits. As a result, an output signal of the voltage level shift circuit connected to an input of a differential amplifier circuit, for expanding an input voltage range of a signal, is not affected by fluctuations in power supply voltage.
