Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for transferring data from a first core to a second core of an integrated circuit (IC). The first core includes first and second memory blocks (e.g., first and second portions of a first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory coupled to first and second pre-multiplexers, respectively). The second core includes a multiplexer including first and second inputs coupled to the first and second memory blocks, respectively. Additionally, the second core includes a read controller configured to generate a first read control signal to cause the first and second memory blocks to transfer data to the first and second inputs of the multiplexer, respectively; and generate a second read control signal to cause the multiplexer to transfer data from the first and inputs to an output of the multiplexer.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a voltage level shifter includes a first p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) transistor having a gate configured to receive an input signal in a first power domain, and a second PMOS transistor, wherein the first and second PMOS transistors are coupled in series between a supply voltage of a second power domain and a node. The voltage level shifter also includes an inverter having an input coupled to the node and an output coupled to a gate of the second PMOS transistor, and a first n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) transistor having a gate configured to receive the input signal in the first power domain, wherein the first NMOS transistor is coupled between the node and a ground.
