Abstract
A differential level shifter includes: a first PMOS transistor, wherein a source/drain of the first PMOS transistor is coupled to a first CMOS signal, a gate of the first PMOS transistor is coupled to ground, and another source/drain of the first PMOS transistor is coupled to a first output node; a second PMOS transistor, wherein a source/drain of the second PMOS transistor is coupled to a second CMOS signal, a gate of the second PMOS transistor is coupled to ground, and another source/drain of the second PMOS transistor is coupled to a second output node; and a shift component coupled between the first output node and the second output node.
