Performance CMOS voltage level-up shifter circuit topology using pre-drive pull-up transistors
Abstract
In a first example a voltage level-shifting device includes a level-shifting stage circuit. The level-shifting stage circuit includes a first level-shifting inverter circuit to invert a buffered input signal to drive a first internal node, a second level-shifting inverter circuit to invert a buffered inverted input signal to drive a second internal node, a first pre-drive circuit that receives the buffered inverted input signal, and drives the second internal node based on the state of the buffered inverted input signal, and a second pre-drive circuit that receives the buffered input signal, and drives the first internal node based on the state of the buffered input signal.
