HIGH VOLTAGE TOLERATIVE DRIVER

摘要

A high voltage tolerative inverter circuit includes a first PMOS transistor with a source connected to VDDQ and drain connected to a first node; a second PMOS transistor with a source connected to the first node and a drain connected to an output; a first NMOS transistor with a source connected to VSS and a drain connected to a second node; a second NMOS transistor with a source connected to the second node and a drain connected to the output. A gate of the first PMOS transistor is controlled by a first signal having a voltage swing between VDDQ and VSS. A gate of the first NMOS transistor and the second PMOS transistor are controlled by a second signal having a voltage swing between VDD and VSS. VDD is lower than VDDQ. A gate of the second NMOS transistor is biased with a first voltage greater than VSS.
