An electronic device with a supply voltage level converter converts a signal from a first low supply voltage level to a second high supply voltage level includes; a first pair of cross coupled MOS transistors compliant with the second supply voltage level, each having a source coupled to the second supply voltage level and providing complementary output signals at respective drains; driven by a second pair of common gate MOS transistors compliant with the second supply voltage; driven by a third pair of common gate MOS transistors compliant with the first voltage level; and driven by first and second inverters coupled in a chain and supplied by the first supply voltage level, each having an output connected to the source of a transistor in a third pair.

A charge pump CMOS circuit comprises a differential input stage with two parallel circuit branches. Each of the parallel circuit branches has a diode-connected MOS transistor connected in series with a complementary input MOS transistor. There is a common tail current source for both circuit branches. The diode-connected MOS transistors each have their gate/drain node connected to corresponding current sources. The charge pump CMOS circuit is suitable for use in an oscillator.

An integrated circuit provides a power on reset signal with respect to a supply voltage level supplying the electronic device. The integrated circuit comprises a bias current generating stage having a first current mirror and an output stage having first, second and third series connected MOS transistors. A connection between the second MOS transistor and the third MOS transistor forms a POR output node. A gate of the second MOS transistor and a gate of the third MOS transistor are coupled to each other and to the first current mirror. This allows a current through the third MOS transistor when the supply voltage is higher than a first MOS transistor threshold and a current through the second MOS transistor only when the supply voltage is greater than or equal to the sum of the first MOS transistor threshold and a second MOS transistor threshold voltage.

An electronic device has an LDO regulator for varying loads. The LDO regulator includes a primary supply node coupled to a primary voltage supply. An output node provides a secondary supply voltage and a load current. A bias current source generates a bias current. A gain stage coupled to the bias current source increases the maximum available load current. The gain stage includes a first MOS transistor biased in weak inversion coupled to a current mirror which mirrors the drain current through the first MOS transistor to the output node. The gate-source voltage of the first MOS transistor increases in response to a decreasing secondary supply voltage level at the output node to increase the available load current.
