  • Apparatus for switching a reference voltage between high and low impedance states
    Patent number: 6118267
    Abstract: A dual mode apparatus for alternately supplying a low power reference voltage and a high power reference voltage, both at the same voltage level. The apparatus includes a driver, an output buffer and a switch. The driver generates the low power reference voltage, which is directly supplied during a standby mode of a receiving unit. The output buffer receives the low power reference voltage during an active mode of the receiving unit, and generates the high power reference voltage therefrom. The switch is connected between an output of the driver and the output buffer, and provides the high power reference voltage during the active mode, and the low power reference voltage during the stand-by mode.
