Abstract

See full text

A r a level shifter circuit includes a first p-channel kick transistor connected directly across a first cross-coupled p-channel transistor, a second p-channel kick transistor connected directly across a second cross-coupled p-channel transistor, a first gate drive circuit coupled to the gate of the first p-channel kick transistor and configured to turn on first p-channel kick transistor to pull up the first output node in response to a rising edge of a signal at the input node, and a second gate drive circuit coupled to the gate of the second p-channel kick transistor and configured to turn on second p-channel kick transistor to pull up the second output node in response to a falling edge of a signal at the input node.
