摘要
This paper presents a device-circuit co-design approach to achieve a low swing, high speed 1.2-5 V level shifter (LS) using drain extended MOS (DeMOS) transistors for system on chip applications in advance CMOS technologies. Limiting factors of the high-voltage devices during transients are identified and accordingly it is shown that the maximum operating frequency of traditional LS can be increased by at least a factor of two. It is demonstrated that optimization of key device parameters of the DeMOS transistor enhances the maximum clock frequency to more than 1 GHz while preserving the device breakdown voltage and duty cycle of the level shifted signal.
