Abstract: In one embodiment, a circuit includes a first transistor having a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal where the first transistor is a first device type. The control terminal of the first transistor receives an input signal. The circuit also includes a second transistor having a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal where the second transistor is a second device type. The control terminal of the second transistor is coupled to the second terminal of the first transistor. A voltage shift circuit has an input coupled to the first terminal of the first transistor and an output coupled to the first terminal of the second transistor and a voltage between the input of the voltage shift circuit and an output of the voltage shift circuit increases as a current from the output of the voltage shift circuit increases.
