发明名称 Voltage level shifting apparatuses and methods
摘要 Level shifting circuits and related methods are disclosed herein. The level shifting circuit includes a cross-coupled pull-up circuit coupled to a higher supply voltage, an output signal, and an inverted output signal. An input signal transitions between a ground and a lower supply voltage and an inverted input signal transitions in a direction opposite from the input signal between the ground and the lower supply voltage. A first n-channel transistor has a gate coupled to the lower supply voltage, a drain coupled to the output signal, and a source coupled to the inverted input signal. A second n-channel transistor has a gate coupled to the lower supply voltage, a drain coupled to the inverted output signal, and a source coupled to the input signal. The level shifting circuit may be included in an IC with core logic in a first voltage domain and input/output logic in a second voltage domain.
