US Patent 11329636 Level shifter system and capacitive-coupled level shifter

A capacitive-coupled level shifter includes a capacitive divider circuit having a first capacitive divider branch configured to couple a first input terminal to a first comparator terminal and a second capacitive divider branch configured to couple a second input terminal to a second comparator terminal. The first capacitive divider branch and the second capacitive divider branch are symmetric so as to cancel out a common mode voltage of a modulated signal input to the capacitive divider circuit. A level shifter system which includes the capacitive-coupled level shifter is also described.
