Abstract
A level shifting apparatus includes a first inverter configured to receive an input signal and a second inverter capacitively coupled with an output of the first inverter, the second inverter being configured to output an output signal. A transmission gate is configured to feed back the output signal to an input of the second inverter, wherein the transmission gate is configured to selectively interrupt feedback of the output signal to the input of the second inverter.
