Abstract: A level shifter with reduced propagation delay. A level shifter includes a signal input terminal, a first signal output node, a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, and a first capacitor. The first transistor includes a control terminal coupled to the signal input terminal. The second transistor includes an output terminal coupled to an input terminal of the first transistor. The first capacitor includes a bottom plate coupled to an input terminal of the second transistor. The third transistor includes a control terminal coupled to a top plate of the first capacitor, and an output terminal coupled to the first signal output node.

Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus includes a driver having a driver output, a capacitor having a first plate and a second plate, the first plate coupled to the driver output, and a transistor having a transistor gate, a transistor source, and a transistor drain. The apparatus also includes a first switch coupled between the second plate and the transistor gate, a second switch coupled between the second plate and the transistor drain, and a third switch coupled between the transistor gate and the transistor drain.
