In one embodiment, a method for level-shifting multiplexing comprises selecting one of a plurality of inputs based on one or more select signals, and pulling down one of first and second nodes based on a logic state of the selected one of the plurality of inputs. The method also comprises pulling up the first node if the second node is pulled down, and pulling up the second node if the first node is pulled down.
