Abstract:
A level-shifting circuit includes a first supply terminal configured to receive a first supply voltage, a second supply terminal configured to receive a second supply voltage different from the first supply voltage, an input terminal of the level-shifting circuit configured to receive a voltage having a first voltage level, and an output terminal of the level-shifting circuit. The level-shifting circuit can include a shifting circuit having electrical connections to the input terminal and the output terminal and configured to, in response to a first voltage at a first node, produce a second voltage at a second node. The level-shifting circuit can also include a feedback circuit and a clamping circuit configured to limit leakage current.

Claim (Index 15):
A method, comprising\n receiving a first supply voltage at a first voltage supply terminal of a level-shifting circuit; receiving a second supply voltage, different from the first supply voltage, at a second voltage supply terminal of the level-shifting circuit; receiving a voltage having a first voltage level at an input terminal of the level-shifting circuit; shifting the voltage from the first voltage level to a second voltage level within the level-shifting circuit based on the second supply voltage such that the voltage at the second voltage level is at an output terminal of the level-shifting circuit; receiving a first voltage at a first node having an electrical connection with a shifting circuit included in the level-shifting circuit, the first voltage at the first node being based on the voltage at the first voltage level; producing a second voltage at a second node using the shifting circuit, the shifting circuit including a transistor; in response to receiving the first voltage at the first node, maintaining the transistor of the shifting circuit in an OFF state using a feedback circuit such that leakage current is limited at the first node; and limiting a leakage current between the first voltage supply terminal and the second voltage supply terminal by limiting current flow, in a reverse-biased direction, at least one of from the second node to the first voltage supply terminal and from the second node to the second voltage supply terminal.
