A signal processing circuit includes a first circuit coupled between a power terminal and a first ground terminal and a second circuit coupled between the power terminal and a second ground terminal. The signal processing circuit is configured to receive a first signal at a voltage level relative to the first ground terminal and, in response to the first signal, provide a second signal at a voltage level relative to the second ground terminal. The signal processing circuit can be used in a battery protection circuit for a mobile device having an embedded battery. The battery protection circuit is configured with two NMOS transistors to allow the cell phone circuit to switch between the embedded battery and an external power source.
