Abstract
A level shifter is disclosed. The level shifter comprises a pulse generating circuit, configured to receive an input signal, and generate a plurality of first-level pulses having a pulse width shorter than a pulse width of the input signal, wherein the input signal swings over a first voltage domain; a pulse transforming circuit, coupled to the pulse generating circuit, configured to generate a plurality of second-level pulses corresponding to the plurality of first-level pulses; and a latching circuit, coupled to the pulse transforming circuit, configured to generate an output signal by latching a status of the output signal in response to the plurality of second-level pulses, wherein the output signal swings over a second voltage domain.
