A switched-mode level-shifter shifts a differential voltage superimposed on a common-mode voltage. In the level shifter, a common-mode inductive reactor has at least two windings, and at least one of the differential voltage and the common-mode voltage are applied to at least one of the windings of the reactor. A switch charges the inductive reactor when caused to be in a first state, where the inductive reactor when charged experiences a change of flux according to the applied voltage. The switch also actuates a reset of the charged inductive reactor when caused to be in a second state, where the inductive reactor when reset reverses the change of flux experienced thereby. A source of a chopping signal is provided to alternately drive the switch between the first and second states, where each of the first and second states is one of in and out of conduction.
