Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided in which a level shifter of a digital control circuit for a switchable voltage supply circuit shifts a domain level of a first input. A first inverter of the digital control circuit inverts output of the first level shifter to output a first gain voltage to turn on a first switch of the switchable voltage supply circuit or output a second gain voltage to turn off the first switch. A second inverter of the digital control circuit inverts a second input to output a third gain voltage to turn on a second switch of the switchable voltage supply circuit or output a fourth gain voltage to turn off the second switch. The first gain voltage is greater than the third gain voltage.
