Abstract
A voltage translator translates an input voltage signal in a low voltage domain into a output voltage signal in a high voltage domain using a latch that includes a pair of cross-coupled inverters. The bottom rail voltages for the cross-coupled inverters are varied dynamically to speed switching time for the voltage translator.
