Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus that includes first and second signal lines; a first differential amplifier having an inverting input node receiving an input signal, a non-inverting input node receiving a reference potential, and an output node connected to the first signal line; a second differential amplifier having an inverting input node receiving the reference potential, a non-inverting input node receiving the input signal, and an output node connected to the second signal line; a level shift circuit cross-coupled to the first and second signal lines; a first replica circuit connected to the first signal line; a second replica circuit connected to the second signal line; and a first switch circuit configured to activate one of the level shift circuit, the first replica circuit, and the second replica circuit.
