Patent abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for shifting voltage levels of electrical signals and more specifically for boosted high-speed level shifting are described. A boosted level shifter may include a driver circuit that generates a drive signal having a greater voltage swing than an input signal, and the drive signal may drive the gate of a pull-up transistor within the boosted level shifter. The lower bound of the drive signal may in some cases be a negative voltage. Driving the pull-up transistor with a drive signal having a greater voltage swing than the input signal may improve the operational speed and current-sourcing capability of the pull-up transistor, which may provide speed and efficiency benefits.
