A level shifter circuit includes two parallel current paths respectively controlled by switch transistors, a Wilson current mirror circuit, and a slew rate control circuit to selectively couple an output node either to a high (first) voltage source or to a ground (second voltage) source in response to differential input control signals. When the output node reaches a stable (high or low) voltage level, the low voltage on one of the current paths turns off a Wilson current mirror transistor in the other current path, thereby preventing quiescent current during stable periods. An optional cascode transistor is added to facilitate fabrication using low threshold voltage transistors.
