Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for driver circuits without voltage, level shifters. An example apparatus includes a semiconductor device including a row decoder circuit that includes a driver circuit and a switching circuit. The driver circuit is configured to receive an input signal having a first logical value, a first voltage signal, and a configurable power signal. The driver circuit is flintier configured to provide an output signal having the first logical value based on the first signal having the first logical value. A voltage level of the input signal is based on the first voltage signal and a voltage level the output signal is based on the configurable voltage signal. The switching circuit is configured to receive the first voltage signal and a second voltage signal and to provide the configurable voltage signal having a voltage. level of one of the first voltage signal or the second voltage signal.

Claim (Index 10):
The voltage shift driver circuity of the semiconductor device of  claim 9 , wherein a driver circuit of the plurality of driver circuits comprises:\n a first inverter configured to receive the respective input signal and to provide a respective inverted signal having a logically inverted value of the respective input signal, wherein the first inverter is coupled between a node receiving the first power signal and a node receiving the reference voltage signal; and a second inverter coupled in series with the first inverter and configured to receive the respective inverted signal and to provide a respective output signal having a logically inverted value of the respective inverted signal, wherein the second inverter is coupled between a node receiving the configurable voltage signal and a node receiving the reference voltage signal.
