Abstract
A system and method to level-shift multiple signals from a first voltage domain to a second voltage domain with minimized silicon area. A level-shifting system may be organized by implementing a static level-shifter coupled to a plurality of dynamic level-shifters. The static level-shifter may provide a voltage control signal for each of the dynamic level-shifters. Each of the dynamic level-shifters may level-shift an individual input signal from a first voltage domain to a second voltage domain.
