Abstract
A device is disclosed that includes a level shifter and an output stage. The level shifter is configured to output a first output signal at a first output terminal in response to a first input signal having a first logic level, and is configured to output a second output signal at a second output terminal in response to the first input signal having a second logic level. The output stage is configured to receive and adjust the first output signal or the second output signal that is selected in response to the first input signal, and configured to generate a third output signal, wherein the third output signal has a logic value that is the same as a logic value of the first output signal or the second output signal.
