Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a first power supply node configured to have a first power supply voltage level, a second power supply node configured to have a second power supply voltage level separate from the first power supply voltage level, an n-well, a bias circuit, and a level shifter. The n-well contains first and second PMOS transistors including first source/drain (S/D) terminals coupled to the first power supply node, and third and fourth PMOS transistors including second S/D terminals coupled to the second power supply node. The bias circuit includes the first PMOS transistor including a third S/D terminal coupled to the n-well and a gate coupled to the second power supply node, and the third PMOS transistor including a fourth S/D terminal coupled to the n-well and a gate coupled to the first power supply node. The level shifter includes the second and fourth PMOS transistors.

Abstract: A circuit includes a bias circuit and a level shifter. The bias circuit includes first and second input terminals configured to receive first and second power supply voltages, and is configured to generate a bias voltage having the greater of a first voltage level of the first power supply voltage or a second voltage level of the second power supply voltage. The level shifter includes a first PMOS transistor configured to receive the first power supply voltage and a second PMOS transistor configured to receive the second power supply voltage, and each of the first and second PMOS transistors includes a bulk terminal configured to receive the bias voltage.

Abstract: An electrical card connector (1) includes an insulating housing (10) receiving a plurality of contacts (20) therein, and an ejector device attached to the insulating housing. The ejector device includes a driving member (30), an operating bar (40) connecting with the driving member at an end thereof and movable along a same direction as the extending direction of the contacts, and a retaining member (50) assembled to the housing. The operating bar defines an engaging portion for engaging with the retaining member.
