Abstract

The invention relates to a level shifter comprising a signal receiving module, a potential adjusting module, and a switch module. According to an input signal, the signal receiving module is in an on state or off state. The potential adjusting module generates an adjusted output signal according to the input signal and comprises a first connection end and a second connection end, wherein the second connection end is coupled to the signal receiving module. The switch module comprises a first end coupled to the first connection end and a second end coupled to the second connection end. When the switch module is in an on state, a current path is formed among the first connection end, the second connection end, and the signal receiving module via the switch module. When the switch module is in an off state, the current cannot flow from the first connection end to the second connection end.

Description
