Abstract:
A level shifter includes a first level-switching device and a second level-switching device. The first level-switching device includes a first switch device, a second switch device, a first control switch and a third switch device. The first switch device is for receiving the input voltage and outputting a first voltage. The second switch device is coupled to the first switch device for outputting a first operational voltage as the output voltage according to the first voltage. The first control switch is coupled to the first switch device for receiving the first voltage. The third switch device is coupled between the first control switch and the first operational voltage and controlled by the output voltage. The second level-switching device is coupled to the first level-switching device for receiving the input voltage and accordingly outputting a second operational voltage as the output voltage.
