Abstract

See full text

A level shifting circuit includes a first inverter including a pair of transistors of opposite conductivity type, the first inverter adapted to receive an input signal in a first voltage domain and further including at least one additional transistor driven by a voltage in a second voltage domain. A second inverter is coupled in series with the first inverter and operable to generate an output signal in the second voltage domain. The second inverter includes a pair of transistors of opposite conductivity type, and further includes at least one additional transistor driven by a voltage in the first voltage domain. The additional transistors are operable to approximately equalize the fall times of output signals generated by the first and second inverters.
