  • Abstract
    A level shifter circuit using bootstrapped gate drive to minimise voltage swing is presented. Capacitors are used to maintain the voltage difference between the gates of pull-up PMOS and pull-down NMOS. The power saving over conventional level shifter is typically 50% for a 5 V input and 12 V output
