Abstract: An interlock circuit utilizes a single combinatorial pseudo-dynamic logic gate to take inputs from two voltage domains at the same time without requiring either input to be level shifted. The interlock design allows hold timing to be met across a large voltage range of both supplies in a dual-voltage supply environment while not significantly hurting setup time by having much lower latency than the latency of a level shifter.
