A single power supply level shifter has first and second inverters in tandem that invert an input signal from a first voltage domain and provide a first inverted signal and an output signal in a second voltage domain. A charging control circuit charges a capacitor towards the second voltage when the input signal is high, and conducts a discharge current from the capacitor during a transition of the input signal from high to low to accelerate a corresponding transition of the first inverted signal from low to high. A third inverter controls a current reduction transistor in series with the first inverter, and a third control transistor connected between the input and the charging control circuit to accelerate the flow of discharge current during the transition of the input signal from high to low.
