Patent ID: 11522526

Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a level shifter with temperature compensation. In some embodiments, the level shifter comprises a transistor, a first resistor, and a second resistor. The first resistor is electrically coupled from a first source/drain of the transistor to a supply node, and the second resistor is electrically coupled from a second source/drain of the transistor to a reference node. Further, the first and second resistors have substantially the same temperature coefficients and comprise group III-V semiconductor material. By having both the first and second resistors, the output voltage of the level shifter is defined by the resistance ratio of the resistors. Further, since the first and second resistors have the same temperature coefficients, temperature induced changes in resistance is largely cancelled out in the ratio and the output voltage is less susceptible to temperature induced change than the first and second resistors individually.
