Abstract
Level-shifting circuitry having a level shifting section and an enable/disable section. The level shifting section is responsive to an input logic signal. The input logic signal has a first voltage level representative of a first logic state or a second voltage level representative of a second logic state. The level-shifting section provides an output logic signal having a third voltage level representative of the logic state of the input logic signal. The enable/disable section is coupled to the level shifting section and is responsive to an enable/disable signal for driving the output terminal of the level-shifting section to a predetermined voltage level during a disable mode. A switch is responsive to the enable/disable signal for preventing current to the level shifting section during the disable mode.
