Abstract
A level shifter includes a level shifter module that receives a first input signal having high and low states and at least one voltage supply signal, and that generates a latch control signal based on the high and low states of the first input signal. A latch module receives the latch control signal, a data input signal, and the at least one voltage supply signal. The latch module selectively stores data associated with the data input signal based on the latch control signal. The latch module selectively changes the at least one voltage supply signal from a first level to a second level and outputs the data according to the second level based on the latch control signal.
