A level shifter circuit for shifting a voltage level of a logic signal from a first voltage to a second voltage, and a design structure on which the subject circuit reside are provided. An input stage operating in a domain of a first voltage supply includes a first inverter receiving an input signal and providing a first inverted signal. An output voltage level shifting stage operating in a domain of a second voltage supply is coupled to the input stage and providing an output signal having a voltage level corresponding to the second voltage supply domain and a logic value corresponding to the input signal. The level shifter circuit enables voltage level shifting a logic signal from a high to a low operating voltage, or from a low to a high operating voltage. The level shifter circuit enables high frequency operation, providing both fast switching and low capacitance.
