摘要:A voltage level shifter has N enhancement-mode FET's (Q1, Q2, and Q3) whose polarities are the same in the case where N is greater than 1 with the drain of each FET except the Nth FET coupled to the source of the next FET. Each FET has its drain coupled to its gate. An input voltage is supplied to the source of the first FET (Q1). An output voltage at a different level is taken from the drain of the Nth FET (Q3). In the structure for the level shifter, the source (S1, S2, or S3) and drain (D1, D2, or D3) of each FET are of a first conductivity type and lie in a well (20) of an opposite second conductivity type that lies in a semiconductive substrate region (16) of the first conductivity type. In the semiconductor structure a reverse-biased diode (DP) is coupled between a supply of a fixed reference voltage (Vss) and the channel of each FET. The well/diode extends the range of the input voltage.
