1. A low-voltage to high-voltage level translator comprising: a first switching element having its control input connected to receive an input signal and its input terminal coupled to receive a common terminal of a power supply, a low-voltage inverting element having its input coupled to receive the input signal, a second switching element having its control input coupled to the output of said low-voltage inverting element and its input terminal coupled to receive the common terminal of the power supply, a complementary switching element having its output coupled to the output of said second switching element and its input terminal coupled to receive a high-voltage power supply, a complementary biasing element having its input coupled to receive the high-voltage power supply and its output coupled to the control terminal of said complementary switching element, a first high-voltage inverting element having its input coupled to the output of said second switching element, a third switching element having its control terminal directly coupled to the output of said first high-voltage inverting element, its input coupled to the output of said first switching element and its output coupled to the output of said complementary biasing element, and a second high-voltage inverting element having its input coupled to the output of said first high-voltage inverting element and its output available as the final output, the output of said second high-voltage inverting element not coupled to the second switching element or to the complementary switching element.
