Abstract:
An output buffer circuit includes a high voltage detecting circuit, a dynamic gate bias generating circuit, an output stage circuit and a pad voltage detector. The high voltage detecting circuit detects a power supply voltage and generates a first and a second determining signals and a first and a second bias voltages according to the power supply voltage. The dynamic gate bias generating circuit is biased by the first and the second bias voltages and receives the first and the second determining signals, for converting logic control signals into corresponding gate bias voltages according to the first and the second determining signals. The pad voltage detector detects a voltage of an I/O pad and provides a pad voltage detecting signal for the output stage circuit to modify an output signal outputted to an I/O pad. A mixed-voltage input/output (I/O) buffer is disclosed herein.

An input output device coupled between a core circuit and a pad and including an output cell, an input cell, and a pre-driver. The output cell includes an output stage and a voltage level converter. The output stage includes a first transistor and a second transistor connected to the first transistor in serial between a first supply voltage and a second voltage. The voltage level converter generates a first gate voltage to the first transistor according to the first voltage and a data signal. When the first supply voltage is increased, the first gate voltage is increased. When the data signal is at a high level, the first transistor is turned on. The input cell includes a pull unit and a first N-type transistor. The pre-driver turns off the first and the second transistors.
