Abstract

Improved voltage level shifters are disclosed capable of achieving substantially higher data transfer speeds with reduced static current than existing cross-coupled voltage level shifters. The voltage level shifters disclosed herein include first stage that translates input voltage signals received from a core circuitry in a first voltage domain to intermediate output voltage signals an intermediate voltage domain, and second stage circuitry that translates the intermediate output voltage signals received from the first stage circuitry in the intermediate voltage domain to output voltage signals in a second voltage domain. The disclosed voltage level shifters are scalable to support various logic voltage levels in the second voltage domain.
