  • Electronic structure for passing signals across voltage differences
    Patent number: 6791359
    Abstract: An electronic structure for passing signals across voltage differences includes a signal bus segment that includes at least one circuit element. Circuitry connected to the signal bus segment is operatively connected to a voltage source. Signal bus segments and the associated circuitry can be stacked and connected to corresponding stacked voltage sources. This allows a signal to be passed to a particular circuit, regardless of the voltage difference between the source circuit and the desired circuit.
