Level shift circuit

A level shift circuit comprising:

• a differential amplification circuit comprising an inversion input terminal, a non-inversion input terminal and an output terminal, the inversion input terminal receiving a reference voltage, the non-inversion input terminal receiving an input signal and the output terminal outputting an output signal;
• a feedback resistor connected between the output terminal and the inversion input terminal of the differential amplification circuit;
• a current generation circuit generating an electric current corresponding to a difference voltage between the reference signal and an output signal of the differential amplification circuit;
• a capacitor connected to an output terminal of the current generation circuit so as to be charged with an electric current generated by the current generation circuit to induce a voltage in the capacitor;
• a holding circuit generating and holding the induced voltage in the holding circuit;
• and
• a switching circuit switching from a first state where the voltage induced in the capacitor is applied to the non-inversion input terminal of the differential amplification circuit to a second state where the voltage held in the holding circuit is applied to the non-inversion input terminal of the differential amplification circuit.
