  • Timing Controlled Level Shifter Circuit
    Publication number: 20240088898
    Abstract: A level shifter circuit is disclosed. The level shifter includes an input circuit configured to receive an input signal generated using a first power supply voltage level and generate, using the first power supply voltage level, a first control signal and a second control signal using the input signal. The level shifter further includes a shifter circuit configured to generate a first shifted signal and a second shifted signal using the first control signal, the second control signal, and second power supply voltage level different than the first power supply voltage level, and a selection circuit configured to select, using a value of a previous output signal and the second power supply voltage level, one of the first shifted signal or the second shifted signal to generate a current output signal.
