LEVEL SHIFTER, DRIVE CIRCUIT, SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY DEVICE, AND VEHICLE

A level shifter includes first to third signal generators, wherein the first and second signal generators use, as an upper-side power supply voltage, a first internal voltage based on a first voltage when the first voltage is higher than a second voltage, and a second internal voltage based on the second voltage when the second voltage is higher than the first voltage, wherein the third signal generator uses the second voltage as an upper-side power supply voltage, wherein the first signal generator uses, as a lower-side power supply voltage, a third internal voltage based on a third voltage when the third voltage is higher than a fourth voltage, and a fourth internal voltage based on the fourth voltage when the fourth voltage is higher than the third voltage, and wherein the third voltage is lower than the first voltage and the fourth voltage is lower than the second voltage.
