Abstract:
A dual supply level shifter circuit includes a switching circuit and a set of level shifter circuits coupled to the switching circuit. The switching circuit includes a first set of coupled transistors, wherein the supply switching circuit is coupled to a first supply source that is configured to provide a first power supply voltage and is coupled to a second supply source that is configured to provide a second power supply voltage. The set of level shifter circuits includes a second set of coupled transistors, wherein the set of level shifter circuits is configured to receive a voltage input signal at an input node from a first circuit and to supply to an output node of the dual supply level shifter circuit an output signal having a value that is a highest voltage value between the first power supply voltage and the second power supply voltage.
