Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods, such as those for shifting a voltage level are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a level shifter configured to provide output signals based on a logical value of an input signal, where the level shifter is precharged to a precharge voltage prior to providing the output signals. An example method includes precharging an output node of a level shifter to a precharge voltage responsive to a precharge signal via a precharge circuit. A transition of the input signal from a first logical value to a second logical value is received at the level shifter and an output signal is provided at the output node based on the second logical value of the input signal.
