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.
Abstract:
A voltage level translator for digital logic circuits provides high level to low level voltage translation with equal rise and fall delays. The voltage level translator may include an input high voltage logic inverter (operating at the high voltage level) and connected to an output low voltage logic inverter operating at the low voltage level via a voltage reduction circuit. A related method for providing high level to low voltage translation may include providing an input inverter operating at the high voltage level and an output inverter operating at the low voltage level. Furthermore, the output of the high voltage inverter may be coupled to the input of the low voltage inverter after reducing the output voltage of the high voltage inverter to the required level.
