Claim 0:
1. A voltage level shifter, comprising:
a first cross-coupled latch comprising a first latch transistor and a second latch transistor, wherein a drain terminal of the first latch transistor is connected to a gate terminal of the second latch transistor and a drain terminal of the second latch transistor is connected to a gate terminal of the first latch transistor;
a plurality of overdrive control transistors comprising a first subset of transistors having gate terminals connected to a first reference voltage and a second subset of transistors having gate terminals connected to a second reference voltage, wherein source terminals of the second subset of transistors are connected to the first cross-coupled latch; and
a first plurality of pull-down transistors comprising a first pull-down transistor and a second pull-down transistor, wherein a drain terminal of the first pull-down transistor and a drain terminal of the second pull-down transistor are connected to source terminals of the first subset of transistors.
