Abstract
A negative voltage level shifter. A circuit is provided that includes a first input path that couples an input node to a gate of a first n-type metal-oxide semiconductor (NMOS) transistor, wherein the first NMOS transistor has a drain coupled to a zero volt supply and a source coupled to a gate of a second NMOS transistor, wherein the second NMOS transistor incudes a source coupled to a negative power supply of −V volts and a drain coupled to an output node; and a second input path that couples the input node to a gate of a third NMOS transistor via an inverter, wherein the third NMOS transistor has a drain coupled to the zero volt supply and a source coupled to the output node.
