Abstract
A scalable level shifter which performs at high-speeds and optimizes power consumption. The scalable level shifter receives an input signal and converts the input signal having a scalable voltage level to an output signal having a predetermined voltage level. The scalable level shifter includes a self-resetting circuit connected to an internal power supply for interrupting an internal current path responsive to output signal voltage variations corresponding to voltage transitions of the input signal.
