Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving, in a level shifter, an input signal from a first voltage domain that operates according to a first supply voltage; level shifting the input signal to at least one level-shifted signal having a second voltage greater than the first supply voltage; based on the at least one level-shifted signal, generating a first pulse signal and a second pulse signal; latching the first pulse signal through a latch circuit to form an output signal; and outputting the output signal to a second voltage domain, the second voltage domain to operate according to a second supply voltage greater than the first supply voltage.
