Abstract: A level shifter and method are disclosed. In one embodiment, the level shifter includes a DC biasing component connected with both an AC coupling component and a high voltage output amplifier. The AC coupling component receives an input signal from a low voltage domain and output a first voltage signal. The DC biasing component is configured to bias the first voltage signal using a bias voltage based on a previous output signal in a high voltage domain. The high voltage output amplifier is configured to amplify the DC biased voltage signal in the high voltage domain and provide an output signal in the high voltage domain.

Abstract: A system may include a first stage comprising first signaling components for a first protocol, and a second stage comprising second signaling components for the first protocol and a second protocol. The system may further include logic configured to receive an incoming data stream, and determine a stream protocol for the data stream. The logic may be further configured to, responsive to the determination, activate the at least a portion of the first stage when the stream protocol is compliant with the first protocol, and when the stream protocol is compliant with the second protocol, deactivate the first stage.
