Level converter for high-speed semiconductor device, generates delayed level-converted output signal whose pulse width is set as sum of predetermined delay time and internal operation delay time

摘要

A converter (110) outputs a level-converted signal in response to an input signal. A delay unit (120) delays the level converted signal, by a predetermined time. A self-reset unit (130) generates a reset signal in response to the delayed level converted signal so that the pulse width of level converted signal is set as the sum of predetermined delay time and an internal operation delay time. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) signal converting apparatus; (2) level converting method and (3) signal converting method.
