ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a level shifter circuit (20) comprising a serially coupled first device (M3) and second device (M5), a serially coupled third device (M4) and fourth device (M6), a parallel coupled first pull-up device (M9) and second pull-up device (M10), a plurality of nodes (N1–N4), and a set-reset latch (22) comprising a first gate (I1) and a second gate (I2), wherein the first device (M3) is coupled to the first pull-up device (M9) via a first one (N1) of the plurality of nodes, wherein the second device (M5) is coupled to the first gate (I1) via a third one (N3) of the plurality of nodes, wherein the third device (M4) is coupled to the second pull-up device (M10) via a second one (N2) of the plurality of nodes, and wherein the fourth device (M6) is coupled to the second gate (I2) via a fourth one (N4) of the plurality of nodes.
