    Abstract: A voltage level translator circuit for translating an input signal referenced to a first voltage supply to an output signal referenced to a second voltage supply includes an input stage for receiving the input signal, the input stage including at least first and second nodes, a voltage at the second node being a logical complement of a voltage at the first node. A load circuit is coupled with the input stage, the load circuit being operative to at least temporarily store a signal at the first and/or second nodes which is indicative of a logical state of the input signal. An output stage connected with the second node is operative to generate an output signal which is indicative of a logical state of the input signal. The voltage level translator circuit further includes a compensation circuit connected with the output stage and operative to balance pull-up and pull-down propagation delays in the voltage level translator circuit as a function of a voltage at the first node.

    Abstract: A comparison circuit for detecting impedance mismatch between pull-up and pull-down devices in a circuit to be monitored includes a comparator operative to receive first and second signals and to generate, as an output, a third signal indicative of a difference between the first and second signals. A first signal generator is operative to generate the first signal indicative of a difference between reference pull-up and pull-down currents that is scaled by a prescribed amount. The reference pull-up current is indicative of a current flowing through at least one corresponding pull-up transistor device in the circuit to be monitored. The pull-down reference current is indicative of a current flowing through at least one corresponding pull-down transistor device in the circuit to be monitored. A second signal generator connected with the second input of the comparator is operative to generate the second signal as a reference voltage defining a prescribed impedance mismatch threshold associated with the circuit to be monitored.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first circuit, a second circuit, and a third circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate a first control voltage and a second control voltage. The second circuit may be configured to generate a bias signal in response to the first control voltage and the second control voltage. The third circuit may be configured to generate a filtered signal in response to the bias signal. The filtered signal may be added to the first control voltage and the second control voltage to provide AC noise suppression when generating the bias signal.

    Abstract: Described embodiments provide for protecting from DC and transient over-voltage conditions an input/output (“I/O”) buffer having first and second I/O transistors. The first I/O transistor is coupled to a first over-voltage protection circuit adapted to prevent an over-voltage condition on at least the first I/O transistor. The second I/O transistor is coupled to a second over-voltage protection circuit adapted to prevent an over-voltage condition on at least the second I/O transistor. First and second bias voltages are generated from an operating voltage of the buffer. A third bias voltage is generated from either i) the first bias voltage, or ii) an output signal voltage of the buffer and a fourth bias voltage is generated from either i) the second bias voltage, or ii) the output signal voltage of the buffer. The third and fourth bias voltages are provided to the first and second over-voltage protection circuits, respectively.
