Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for level shifting in a semiconductor device are described. An example apparatus includes: a splitter circuit that operates on a first voltage potential to produce a first signal having a first polarity and a second signal having a second polarity that is substantially opposite to the first polarity; an one-shot pulse circuit that operates on the first voltage potential to produce a first one-shot pulse signal responsive to the first signal and a second one-shot pulse signal responsive to the second signal; and a logic circuit configured to operate on a second voltage potential to produce a third signal responsive to the first and second one-shot pulse signals, the second voltage potential being different from the first voltage potential.

Claim (Index 15):
The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the block signal generator circuit is configured to provide the third signal and the fourth signal having a cycle period twice a cycle period of the input signal,\n wherein the block signal generator circuit is configured to provide the third signal having transition edges responsive to first transition edges of the first one-shot pulse signal, and wherein the block signal generator circuit is further configured to provide the fourth signal having transition edges responsive to first transition edges of the second one-shot pulse signal.
