Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is an integrated circuit voltage level shifter including: a first set of pull-up transistors to selectively pull an output voltage towards a high voltage source level based on an input; a second set of pull-down transistors adapted to selectively pull the output voltage towards a lower voltage source level based on the input and a third set of transistors to limit current flow through the second set of pull-down transistors and to mitigate snapback of the second set of pull-down transistors using a bias gate voltage.
