ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,483,246, issued on Nov. 25, was assigned to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (Hsinchu, Taiwan).

"Self timed level shifter circuit" was invented by Wan-Yen Lin (Kaohsiung, Taiwan) and Tsung-Hsin Yu (Hsinchu, Taiwan).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods are provided for a level shifter. A level shifter includes a network of transistors configured to receive a signal at a first node in a first voltage domain and to generate a corresponding signal at a second node in a second voltage domain during a transition period of time. A self timing circuit is configured to receive an initiation signal based on the signal at th...
