Abstract
A level shifter is disclosed and includes at least four Type 1 transistors and at least four Type 2 transistors. The sources of several Type 1 transistors are electrically connected to a first voltage terminal while the sources of several Type 2 transistors are connected to a second voltage terminal. The level shifter receive an input signal and outputs a logically equivalent output signal with higher voltage, wherein the voltage of the output signal is between the voltages of the first voltage terminal and the second voltage terminal.
