VOLTAGE LEVEL SHIFTERS EMPLOYING PRECONDITIONING CIRCUITS, AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Voltage level shifters employing preconditioning circuits are disclosed. Related systems and methods are also disclosed. In one aspect, voltage level shifter is configured to generate a voltage level shifted non-complement output signal and complement output signal corresponding to non-complement input signal and complement input signal, respectively. First pull-up circuit is configured to generate complement output signal in response to non-complement input signal transitioning to logic low voltage. First pull-down circuit is configured to generate non-complement output signal in response to complement input signal transitioning to logic high voltage. First preconditioning circuit is configured to receive non-complement and complement output signals and generate and provide shifted voltage signal to complement output in response to non-complement output signal transitioning to logic low voltage. This allows the complement output signal to transition to the shifted voltage more quickly.
