Voltage level shift circuit for multiple voltage integrated circuits
An over-driver, voltage level shift circuit for use with multiple voltage integrated circuits. The voltage level shift circuit includes a first pair of PMOS transistors, a second pair PMOS transistors and a third pair of PMOS transistors using a high supply voltage source VDDH and a low supply voltage source to voltage level shift input signals having a first voltage operating range to an output signal having a second voltage operating range higher then the first voltage operating range. Some embodiments include a fourth set of transistors and a fifth set of transistors to receive a medium supply voltage source VDDM between the high supply voltage source VDDH and a low supply voltage source and another set of input signals operating a voltage operating range different than the first operating range. The voltage level shift circuit selectably switches between a plurality of different voltage operating ranges for the second voltage operating range.
