    Abstract: An embodiment of a low-to-high-level voltage translator is proposed. This translator translates the low voltage swing signals for the core into high voltage swing signals of the I/O blocks. This translator may be particularly useful for high-speed application where the difference between the core and the I/O supply voltage is very large, e.g., the core is working at 0.8V and the I/O is working at 3.6V or higher without little or no static power dissipation. The proposed translator may give improved transition times and propagation delays as compared to conventional translators. The proposed translator may also use less hardware in comparison to other such translators.

    Abstract: A high voltage tolerant output buffer uses a substrate voltage control circuit to control the voltage at the substrate of the transistors in the output buffer. The circuitry of output buffer is such that the voltage between any two terminals of any of the transistors is not allowed to exceed the supply voltage of the output buffer. At the same time, the voltage at the source or drain of transistors of output buffer is not allowed to increase beyond its substrate voltage. The proposed circuit for output buffer can tolerate voltages higher than the voltage at which it is operated. The novel circuitry uses less hardware and prevents power dissipation in the circuit.

    Abstract: A differential input receiver with hysteresis on both sides of the reference voltage may include a two-input, one-output differential amplifier including two input transistors having a common terminal connected together. The control terminal of each transistor may be connected to one of the inputs of the differential amplifier. The output of the differential amplifier may be connected to a set of cascaded digital inverters/buffers, and an output of each digital buffer may be connected to the control terminal of a feedback transistor. The feedback transistor may be connected in parallel across each of the input transistors so that when one input voltage increases above or decreases below the input voltage at the second input by a predetermined threshold value, the feedback transistors operate to provide positive feedback to facilitate a rapid switching action at the output.
