A cross-coupled, latching voltage level converter to convert a signal from a first voltage domain to a second voltage domain and hold an output logic level is disclosed. The converter includes back-to-back first and second inverter circuits coupled to a first voltage source operable at a first voltage level. A transistor is coupled between an output of the first inverter and ground potential, the first transistor having a gate coupled to an input signal operable at a second voltage level. A second transistor is coupled between the output of the second inverter and ground potential, the second transistor having a gate coupled to an inverse of the input signal operable at the second voltage, wherein a terminal of the second transistor delivers an output signal operable at the first voltage level and corresponding to the same logic state as the input signal.
