Zusammenfassung:A shifter circuit includes a pair of feed forward sections and a pair of feedback sections. The sections are arranged and coupled to form a balanced symmetrical topology. The feed forward sections each include inverter pairs of PMOS and NMOS devices. The feedback sections each include a pair of cross-coupled devices. A pair of output nodes are operatively positioned between the pair of feedback sections. A method for using the circuit to generate output signals at respective output ports is also disclosed.
