A level shifter circuit and method thereof are provided. The example level shifter circuit may include a pull-up drive unit driving an output node from a first voltage to a second voltage in response to an input signal, a target voltage for the second voltage higher than a target voltage for the first voltage and the input signal based on the first voltage and a third voltage and a pull-down drive unit driving the output node to the third voltage in response to the input signal, the pull-up and pull-down drive units adjusting current levels of at least one of a pull-up current flowing through the pull-up drive unit and a pull-down current flowing through the pull-down drive unit based on whether the pull-up drive unit and the pull-down drive unit are operating concurrently. The example method may include pull-up driving an output node from a first voltage to a second voltage in response to an input signal, a target voltage for the second voltage higher than a target voltage for the first voltage and the input signal based on the first voltage and a third voltage, pull-down driving the output node to the third voltage in response to the input signal, determining whether the pull-up and pull-down driving operations are performed concurrently and adjusting current levels of at least one of a pull-up current and a pull-down current based on the determining step.
