Title:
A VOLTAGE TRANSLATOR CIRCUIT WHICH ALLOWS FOR VARIABLE LOW VOLTAGE SIGNAL TRANSLATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000024127
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A variable low voltage signal translator uses a driver (12) for outputting a low voltage signal translation. A control circuit (18) is coupled to the driver (12) for enabling and disabling the driver (12) wherein the control circuit (18) has an input coupled to the signal to be translated. One terminal of the pull-up resistor (14) is coupled to an output of the driver (12). A second terminal of the pull-up resistor (14) is coupled to a voltage supply (16) which provides the low voltage level of the variable low voltage signal translator.
