Claim Text:
1. A level conversion circuit for generating an output signal on an output line in response to one or more input signals having one of a higher input level and a lower input level, and the output signal having one of a higher output level and a lower output level, the level conversion circuit comprising: input circuitry coupled to a first supply node for supplying the higher input level and having a first input for receiving a first input signal, a second input for receiving a second input signal, and an output coupled to the output line, wherein: output control circuitry coupled to the output line and a second supply node for supplying the higher output level, and configured to detect the rising transition of the temporary output signal on the output line and, in response to detecting the rising transition of the temporary output signal, to pull the output signal on the output line to the higher output level.
