Abstract

In various embodiments, a level shifter and a method for operating the same are provided. The level shifter may include a low supply voltage terminal, a high supply voltage terminal, at least one input terminal, at least one output terminal, and a latch. The latch may configured to: store a predetermined logic state by setting a storage node to a voltage level in response to receiving a predetermined voltage level at the at least one input terminal; amend the voltage level at the storage node in response to receiving an amended voltage/s at the low supply voltage terminal and/or at the high supply voltage terminal; and output the predetermined logic state having the amended voltage level from the storage node to the at least one output.
