Described herein is a voltage compensated level-shifter with nearly constant duty cycle and matching rise and fall slopes of the output of the level-shifter, no meta-stability, and nearly constant propagation delay across power supply levels. The voltage compensated level-shifter comprises a first inverter to receive an input signal for level shifting from a first power supply level to a second power supply level, and to generate a first inverted signal, the first inverter operating on the first power supply level; a second inverter to receive the input signal and to generate a second inverted signal, the second inverter operating on the second power supply level; and a NOR logical gate to receive the first and second inverted signals and to generate an output signal, the NOR logical gate operating on the second power supply level, wherein the output signal is level shifted to the second power supply level.
