    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for a circuit to shift a voltage level. The circuit may include a first inverter that includes a first transistor coupled to pass a low voltage signal and a second inverter coupled to receive the low voltage signal. The circuit may further include a second transistor coupled to receive the low voltage signal from the second inverter to serve as a feedback device and produce a high voltage signal. In embodiments, the first transistor conducts asymmetrically to prevent crossover of the high voltage signal into the low voltage domain. A low voltage memory array is also described. In embodiments, the circuit to shift a voltage level may assist communication between a logic component including the low voltage memory array of a low voltage domain and a logic component of a high voltage domain. Additional embodiments may also be described.
