Apparatus and method for data level shifting with boost assisted inputs for high speed and low voltage applications
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a data level shifter circuit including a boost circuit configured to generate a boosted input data signal based on a transition of an input data signal; a first input transistor including a first control signal configured to receive the input data signal; a second input transistor including a second control terminal configured to receive the boosted input data signal, wherein the first and second input transistors are coupled in parallel between a node and a lower voltage rail; and a latch circuit configured to generate an output data signal based on the input data signal, wherein the latch circuit is coupled between an upper voltage rail and the node.
