ABSTRACT:
A signal level shifting circuit, including an input stage circuit and an output signal latching circuit. The input stage circuit receives an input signal, wherein a voltage level of the input signal falls within a first predetermined voltage range. The output signal latching circuit is cascoded with the input stage circuit, and includes: a latching circuit for generating an output signal according to the input signal, wherein a voltage level of the output signal falls within a second predetermined voltage range, and the second predetermined voltage range is different from the first predetermined voltage range; and an activating circuit, coupled to the latching circuit, for selectively enabling or disabling the latching circuit, wherein when a level transition appears to the input signal, the activating circuit disables the latching circuit.
