A Low Voltage To High Voltage Level Shifter Circuit For Mems Application

The pre driver circuit which generates the pull up and pull down signal is mainly a voltage level shifter circuit.

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

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. 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.
