Abstract
A level-shifter circuit receives one or more input signals in an input level domain and includes provides at an output node an output signal in an output level domain shifted with respect to the input level domain. The circuit includes output circuitry including a first drive node and a second drive node that receive first and second logical signals so that the output signal has a first output level or a second output level in the output level domain as a function of at least one of the first and second logical signals. The circuit includes first and second shift capacitors coupled to the first and second drive nodes as well as capacitor refresh circuitry.
