Abstract
The present document relates to a level shifter circuit configured to transform an input voltage at an input of the level shifter circuit into an output voltage at an output of the level shifter circuit. The level shifter circuit may comprise a first switching element coupled between an output supply voltage and a positive output terminal, wherein a control terminal of the first switching element is coupled to a negative output terminal. The level shifter circuit may comprise a second switching element coupled between the output supply voltage and the negative output terminal, wherein a control terminal of the second switching element is coupled to the positive output terminal. The level shifter circuit may comprise a drive circuit configured to drive the control terminals of the first and the second switching element based on the input voltage at the input of the level shifter circuit.
