Abstract
A voltage level shifter for changing digital bit levels between devices having different voltage levels. In addition to changing the voltage levels in the normal mode, the device includes additional transistors which are activated when the system is in a drowsy mode so as to cut DC current drain and to latch outputs to ignore extraneous inputs.
