ABSTRACT:
A level shifting circuit having a signal input that operates in a first voltage domain and a signal output that operates in a second voltage domain. In some embodiments, the level shifting circuit includes a clocked level shifter. In some embodiments, the level shifting circuit includes a level shifting latch that latches a translated output signal. In one example, the level shifting latch includes a latch portion and a stack of transistors with a transistor having a control electrode coupled to a clock input.
