An electronic device comprising a level shifter for performing a voltage shift of a low level input signal of a first voltage domain to a high level output signal of a second voltage domain, the level shifter having a high-side transistor in series with a low-side transistor so as to provide an output node between the channel of the high-side transistor and the channel of the low-side transistor for driving a load with the high level output signal of the second voltage domain. The level shifter being configured to have a first state in which the high-side transistor is conducting and the low-side transistor is not conducting, a second state in which the low-side transistor is conducting and the high-side transistor is not conducting and a third state in which the high-side transistor is not conducting and the low-side transistor is not conducting.
