Logic level shifting may be required when interfacing legacy devices with newer devices that use a smaller geometry process. For bidirectional bus systems like the I2C-bus, such a level shifter must ...

Level-shifters are an indispensable circuit in multi-power-domain SoCs. Many techniques and architectures have been proposed to enhance the performance of these circuits. Inverter-based level shifters ...

When designing a system, one of the most important design decisions is choosing what voltage domain(s) to use. Some voltage domains, such as 5 V, are good for noisy and harsh operating environments ...

Use of buck-boost circuits in switching-regulator ICs. Considerations in level-shift circuit design. Switching regulators with internal level shifting. The magnitude of the negative voltage generated ...

If your introduction to digital electronics came more years ago than you’d care to mention, the chances are you did so with 5V TTL logic. Above 2V but usually pretty close to 5V is a logic 1, below ...

High-voltage level shifters and gate drivers form critical interfaces within power converters, enabling low-voltage control circuits to drive high-voltage power stages reliably and efficiently. These ...

The MAX17108 level-shifter enables implementation of gate-in-panel (GIP) technology in LCD panels. Employing a proprietary, high-voltage BiCMOS process, the device integrates a 10-channel, ...

Several Apple patents have appeared at the US Patent & Trademark Office. Following is a summary of each. Patent number 7994820 is for a level shifter with embedded logic and low minimum voltage. Per ...

Cell-level and pin-level attributes from Liberty are mandatorily required for accurate PA-Static verification at the GL-netlist (post-synthesis) and PG-netlist (post P&R) levels of the design.

The Unified Power Format (UPF) is used to specify the power intent of a design. Once written, the UPF file is applied at every stage of the design cycle — starting with the RTL, then the gate-level, ...
