Abstract

A circuit (01) combining level shift function with gated reset is described, performing a simple logic function with inputs supplied from a lower voltage (VD) and a drive out at its output (05) with a higher voltage (VC). Said circuit (01) comprises a gated reset scheme plus devices (10, 30, 40) for logic function.
