Abstract:
A level shifter is configured to receive an input signal in a first voltage domain and output an output signal in a second voltage domain. An input terminal is configured to receive an input signal in a first voltage domain. A first sensing circuit is configured to shift the input signal from the first voltage domain to the second voltage domain, and a second sensing circuit is configured to shift the input signal from the first voltage domain to the second voltage domain. An enable circuit is configured to equalize a voltage level of first and second output signals at respective first and second output terminals in response to an enable signal. The first and second sensing circuits are configured output complementary output signals in the second voltage domain at the first and second output terminals in response to the enable signal and the input signal.
