Abstract:
A level shifter including a level shifter module configured to i) receive an input signal, wherein the input signal varies between a first level and a second level, ii) receive a first voltage supply signal and a second voltage supply signal, and iii) generate a latch control signal based on the input signal and one of the first voltage supply signal and the second voltage supply signal. The level shifter further includes a latch module configured to i) receive the latch control signal, ii) receive the second voltage supply signal and a third voltage supply signal, and iii) generate an output signal based on the latch control signal and one of the second voltage supply signal and the third voltage supply signal.
