Abstract
A device is disclosed that includes a level shifter and an output stage. The level shifter is configured to generate a first output signal based on a logic value of a first input signal. The output stage is configured to receive the first output signal transmitted according to the logic value of the first input signal, and to generate a second output signal. The second output signal has a logic value that is different from a logic value of the first output signal, and the second output signal and the first input signal has a same logic value.
