    Abstract: Methods and apparatus providing an ultra-low power bandgap reference using a clocked amplifier are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a clocked comparator to compare a first voltage to a second voltage when a clock signal pulses and output a comparison signal based on the comparison, the comparison signal being (A) a first signal when the first voltage is higher than the second voltage and (B) a second signal when the first voltage is lower than the second voltage; a monoshot to when the comparison signal is a first signal, output a first pulse; and when the comparison signal is a second signal, output a second pulse; and a charge pump to increase an output voltage when the monoshot outputs the first pulse; decrease the output voltage when the monoshot outputs the second pulse; and hold the output voltage when the monoshot is not outputting a pulse.

    Abstract: An input/output (IO) circuit is provided that reduces stress on a driver without using an additional reference voltage. The IO circuit receives an overshoot voltage and an undershoot voltage in a receive mode. The IO circuit includes a driver circuit. The driver circuit includes an NMOS transistor coupled to a PMOS transistor. A pad is coupled to the driver circuit. A PMOS protect circuit is coupled to the driver circuit and the pad. An NMOS protect circuit is coupled to the driver circuit and the pad. The NMOS protect circuit is configured to be activated only for a duration of the overshoot voltage received at the pad during the receive mode and the PMOS protect circuit is configured to be activated only for a duration of the undershoot voltage received at the pad during the receive mode.
