ABSTRACT:
A level shifter receives an input signal of either a first lower voltage or a first upper voltage which form a voltage pair, and level-shifts the input signal to output an output signal of either a second lower voltage or a second upper voltage. An SR flip-flop generates an output signal which is switched to the second upper voltage upon receiving a positive edge via its set terminal, and is switched to the second lower voltage upon receiving a positive edge via its reset terminal. An AND gate generates the logical AND of a feedback signal having the inverted logical level of the output signal of the SR flip-flop and the input signal, which is output to the set terminal of the SR flip-flop. A NOR gate generates the logical NOR of the feedback signal and the input signal, which is output to the reset terminal of the SR flip-flop.
