Abstract
A device including an inverter circuit, a hysteresis control circuit, and a high-side input level shifter. The inverter circuit having an output and including at least two series connected PMOS transistors connected, at the output, in series to at least two series connected NMOS transistors. The hysteresis control circuit coupled to the output to provide feedback to the at least two series connected PMOS transistors and to the at least two series connected NMOS transistors. The high-side input level shifter connected to gates of the at least two PMOS transistors and configured to shift a low level of an input signal to a higher level and provide the higher level to one or more of the gates of the at least two PMOS transistors.
