Abstract

An integrated circuit (IC) includes a first circuit, a first well and a second circuit. The first circuit is disposed on a substrate and configured to shift a first bit signal between a first voltage logic level and a second logic voltage level. The first well is disposed in a cell on the substrate and biased to a first voltage. The first well is spaced apart from a first edge of the cell. The second well is disposed in the cell and biased to a second voltage. The second well is disposed to contact a second edge of the cell opposite to the first edge. The first circuit includes a plurality of transistors respectively disposed in the first and second wells.
