1. A level shifting circuit between a first voltage level and a second voltage level, the second voltage level being higher than the first voltage level, comprising:

  • a first current source coupled between the first voltage level and the second voltage level, wherein the first current source is driven on and off by a first signal, said first signal alternating between two signal levels; and

    a current-to-voltage converter to convert the current from the first current source to an output signal at the second voltage level;

    a noise suppression means configured to mitigate noise pulses on the converter, the pulses being induced by voltage excursion of the second voltage level with respect to the first voltage level;

    whereby the first signal is level shifted to the second voltage level as the output signal.
