Abstract
Voltage level shifting circuits are provided in which circuit devices are placed across sourcing output transistors to improve the switching speed of the low voltage to high voltage output transition. These circuit devices permit sourcing and sinking output transistors to be sized for optimal switching speed of the high voltage to low voltage output transition.
