Pulse response of fast level shifter

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for detecting a state change of a level shifter and actively driving the level shifter into the new state to facilitate the recovery of the level shifter. The system and method also provide logic for setting up the level shifter for the next transition. A transition of a high logic to low logic of a first internal node and a second internal node is monitored. The first internal node and the second internal node transition between opposing logic levels, such that one internal node is pulled low and the other internal node is pulled high. The monitor determines when one node is pulled low and actively drives the other node to a logic high to facilitate the recovery of the level shifter.
