Abstract
A level shifter is disclosed. The level shifter includes a level shifter core circuit and a pull-up control logic circuit. In response to an input signal and an output signal of the level shifter core circuit, the pull-up control logic circuit selectively turns on a transistor within the level shifter core circuit to prevent the occurrence of a strong P-N fight state within the level shifter.
