  • Systems and methods for providing bi-directional signal level shifting
    Patent number: 11101789
    Abstract: A bi-directional level shift circuit shifts signal levels between a first signal line and a second signal line. The circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor includes a first gate connected to the second signal line, a first source connected to the first signal line, and a first drain connected to a voltage rail which supplies voltage. The second transistor includes a second gate connected to the voltage rail, a second source connected to the first signal line, and a second drain connected to the second signal line.
