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 11):
An apparatus comprising:\n a splitter circuit configured to receive an input signal having an amplitude of a first voltage and further configured to provide a first signal and a second signal responsive to the input signal; a one-shot pulse generator circuit configured to receive the first signal and the second signal, and further configured to provide a first one-shot pulse signal and a second one-shot pulse signal; and a block signal generator circuit configured to provide a third signal and a fourth signal including block pulses having an amplitude of a second voltage, responsive to the first one-shot pulse signal and the second one-shot pulse signal, the second voltage different than the first voltage.
