in the internal nodes, the proposed circuit uses a diode-connected level shifter between gate terminals of the output inverter. Using a control circuit, only during the high-to-low transitions of the output, a current is forced into the diode-connected device...

This brief presents a fast and power-efficient voltage level-shifting circuit capable of converting extremely low levels of input voltages into high output voltage levels. The efficiency of the proposed circuit is ...

In this paper, a low-power voltage level shifter is proposed which is able to convert sub-threshold voltage levels of input signal to above-threshold voltage levels. The proposed circuit is based on a modified Wilson current mirror structure which...

This paper presents a power-efficient voltage level shifter converting low levels of input voltages (sub-threshold) to high levels of the output voltages (above threshold). In order to reduce the existing contention in the output nodes between pull...

of the proposed structure in a 0.18-μm CMOS technology show that at the target design of input low supply voltage of 0.4 V and high supply voltage of 1.8 V, the level-shifter has a propagation delay of 31ns, a static power dissipation of 1.16nW, and a power...
