Abstract
A level shifter for converting a first voltage range to a second voltage range includes a latch circuit, a stack device and a dynamic bias circuit. The latch circuit is used for outputting the second voltage range. The stack device, coupled to the latch circuit, includes a stack transistor, which is used for sustaining the second voltage range of the latch circuit. The dynamic bias circuit, coupled to the stack device, is used for turning on the stack transistor to toggle the latch circuit.
