ABSTRACT:
Described herein is the method and apparatus for generating symmetrical level shifted signals by a symmetrical level shifter. The symmetrical level shifter comprises an edge detector operable to generate transition edge based pulses from an input signal based on a first power supply level; a voltage level shifter, coupled with the edge detector, operable to convert the transition edge based pulses based on the first power supply level to edge based pulses based on a second power supply level; and a divider circuit, coupled with the voltage level shifter, operable to generate an output signal from the edge based pulses based on the second power supply level.
