Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a level shifter that provides improved response time and/or low static power dissipation compared to conventional level shifters. In some embodiments, a level shifter circuit includes an input terminal coupled to a first semiconductor device, and an output terminal coupled to a second semiconductor device. The first semiconductor device is designed to operate over a first voltage range associated with an input signal, and the second semiconductor device is designed to operate over a second, different voltage range associated with an latched output signal. To transform the input voltage range to the output voltage range, the level shifter circuit includes a signal analyzer and an output latch, wherein the signal analyzer includes at least one state change element for setting a voltage level of the latched output signal. |
