A level shifting apparatus includes a first capacitor, a first side of the first capacitor configured to receive a first voltage. The level shifting apparatus further includes an edge detector configured to receive the first voltage. The level shifting apparatus further includes an output inverter connected to a second side of the first capacitor, the output inverter configured to output an voltage-level shifted signal of the level shifting apparatus. The level shifting apparatus further includes a latch loop configured to receive feedback the output signal to an input of the output inverter, wherein the edge detector is configured to selectively interrupt feedback of the output signal to the input of the output inverter. The invention also provides a method for using the level shifting apparatus.
