Low power high performance designs have become a recent trend in modern SoC design community. Often multiple voltage domains are being created in order to cater the need of low power requirements and ...

The majority of the level shifter designs are capable of translating signals between those voltage domains where the difference in the voltages is less than or equal to threshold voltage (Vt) of the ...

If you have ever had to fix a modern desktop motherboard, you might have noticed that the BIOS (UEFI) SPI flash is 1.8V – which means you can no longer use a Raspberry Pi or a CH341 adapter ...

The low voltage microcontroller switches the NPN transistor T2, which in turn drives the PNP transistor T1. R3 represents the load. The load is grounded, but can also be a floating load with a ...

Figure 1 A high to low level shifter Low to high voltage level shifter Low voltage swing input signal would not necessarily be strong enough to turn the input transistor fully on. This could lead to ...

D2, C1, C2, R4, and the 78L05 regulator (U2) supply power to Q1, the transistor level shifter, and U1 directly from an RS-232 bus. Diodes D3 and D4 isolate pin 20, allowing a unique power-drive ...
