  • Patent number: 10700684
    Abstract: A level translator translates signals between first and second voltage domains. An output buffer thereof includes a plurality of PFETs coupled in parallel between a second domain's output supply voltage and an output signal and a plurality of NFETs coupled in parallel between the output signal and the ground rail. Each gate of the plurality of PFETs is coupled to a respective first resistor; the first resistors are coupled in series and receive a first gate control signal. Each gate of the plurality of NFETs is coupled to a respective second resistor; the second resistors are coupled in series and receive a second gate control signal. A first booster NFET is coupled between the output supply voltage and the output signal and a second booster NFET is coupled between the output signal and the ground rail. The booster NFETs receive control signals that operate in the first voltage domain.
