Abstract:
A level-shifter circuit operates to shift an input signal referenced to a first set supply voltages to generate an output signal referenced to a second set of supply voltages. The output signal from the level-shifter circuit is latched by a latching circuit. A logic gate has a first input configured to receive the input signal, a second input configured to receive a feedback signal and an output coupled to a input of the level shifting circuit. A feedback circuit has a first input configured to receive the output signal, a second input configured to receive the input signal and an output configured to generate the feedback signal. The feedback circuit operates to sense an uncontrolled switching event of the output signal occurring in the absence of a switching of the input signal and apply, in response thereto, the feedback signal to cancel the uncontrolled switching event.

Claim (Index 7):
The circuit of any  claim 1 , wherein:\n the first circuit includes a pair of said first switching elements configured for receiving a pair of complementary switching input signals, the second circuit includes a pair of said second switching elements respectively coupled to the pair of first switching elements in the first circuit section, the second switching elements in the second circuit configured for switching as a result of switching of the respective first switching elements in the first circuit, the latch circuit block includes a pair of complementary latch outputs, wherein switching of the latch outputs is controlled by switching of respective second switching elements to provide at the latch outputs level-shifted replicas of switching input signals applied to the first switching elements in the first circuit section, and the feedback network is configured for sensing uncontrolled switching events of the latch outputs occurring in the absence of switching of the respective first switching elements in the first circuit section and for applying to the first switching elements in the first circuit section forced switching signals to cancel out the uncontrolled switching events at the latch outputs.
