Abstract
A level shifter includes first, second and third capacitively configured transistors, first and second switching transistors, and an inverting circuit. The first capacitively configured transistor has a first terminal that receives an input signal. Second and third capacitively configured transistor each have first terminal coupled to a second terminal of the first capacitively configured transistor. The second capacitively configured transistor is coupled in series with a first switching transistor that is also coupled to a first power supply terminal. The third capacitively configured transistor is coupled in series with a second switching transistor that is also coupled to a second power supply terminal.
