    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method may include receiving an input signal at an input stage of a circuit and amplifying the input signal using an amplifier of the circuit to produce a level-shifted output signal. The method may further include selectively controlling switches of an active load coupled to the input stage based on the level-shifted output signal to turn off current flow between transitions in the input signal.

    Abstract: A phase detector includes a phase propagator circuit including a plurality of flip-flops. Each flip-flop includes a clock input configured to receive a clock signal having a different phase relative to phases of the clock signal received by other flip-flops in the plurality of flip-flops. The phase detector further includes a phase controller coupled to the clock input of each flip-flop in the plurality of flip-flops. The phase controller is configured to provide the different phases of the clock signal to the plurality of flip-flops such that the different phases are scaled exponentially relative to one another.

    Abstract: A method includes using a pass device of a linear regulator to provide an output signal to an output of the linear regulator in response to a signal that is received at a control terminal of the pass device. The method includes using the linear regulator to regulate the signal received at the control terminal based at least in part on the output signal; and controlling a closed loop frequency response of the linear regulator to cause a direct current (DC) gain of the linear regulator to extend to a frequency near or at frequency of a zero that is associated with a decoupling capacitor that is coupled to the output of the linear regulator.

    Abstract: Circuitry and methods are provided that may be implemented to transfer digital signals between multiple voltage domains while some of these domains may be invalid, e.g., such as to transfer a digital signal from a source voltage domain to a destination voltage domain while the voltage of the source domain is zero or invalid. Possible implementations include, but are not limited to, for power selection and distribution in an integrated circuit chip that has multiple power sources (e.g., such as main power supply and a backup power supply), and in which at startup the chip is agnostic of (or is not aware of) which power supply or power supplies is actually powered and available.
