  • Level shifting output buffer with p channel pulldown transistors which are bypassed
    Patent number: 5723987
    Abstract: An output buffer for providing a 3.3V output from an integrated circuit designed to operate at 2.5V. A bistable level shifting circuit uses p channel pull-up and pull-down transistors where the n-wells of the transistors are coupled to the 3.3V potential. Bypass circuits are used to maintain the set/reset state and to avoid damage to the pull-down transistors. A feedforward path is used to provide biasing protection to a transistor in the output stage during a low-to-high transition.
