A level shift circuit, for outputting a data output signal with a second level via an output inverter after a data input signal with a first level is stored in a latch, includes a level set circuit, when the output data signal outputs with a low level, setting the output data signal to a low level in response to a change of the input data signal. The level set circuit is connected to an output terminal of the output inverter, and has an NMOS transistor having a drain electrode and a source electrode coupled to a ground, wherein the NMOS transistor turns on in response to the input data signal with a high level.
