A low voltage to high voltage level shifter circuit for mems application.

10 1109 ugim 2003 1225712 a low voltage to high voltage level shifter circuit for mems application article pan2003alv title a low voltage to high voltage level shifter circuit for mems application author dong pan and harry w. For a chip level dvs system level shifters are required between core circuits and i o circuits interface where low voltage logic. The pre driver circuit which generates the pull up and pull down signal is mainly a voltage level shifter circuit. Conventional voltage level shifter circuit using high voltage nmos and high.

Li and bogdan m. The transistor stack is connected between an input signal and ground and has at least one output. Simulation result of the proposed voltage level shifter circuit. A shifter circuit comprises in one embodiment an input voltage divider stage comprising multiple transistors arranged in a transistor stack defining a plurality of intermediate nodes.

It features zero dc current consumption while reduces internal voltage swing. Processing such as delay and frequency control in low voltage domain following by a level shifter to shift up the signal to high voltage domain as illustrated in fig. This approach also requires dual supply voltages. It converts the low voltage control signal to high voltage control signal.

It converts the low voltage control signal to high voltage control signal. Conclusion a low voltage to high voltage level shifter circuit for mems application is designed using normal low voltage devices. In 12 the authors presented a low to high voltage level shifter for use in a vlsi chip for mems applications. The level shifter often consumes significant power due to high supply voltage and has limited bandwidth due to the low f t of thick oxide high voltage transistors.
