<p>A voltage level converter having: an input bias terminal (25); connections to first, second and third voltage sources (VCC, VPP, VSS); first and second complementary output terminals (18, 20); and an input control terminal (26) wherein, said input bias terminal (25) is connected to a third output terminal (32) of an automatic bias stage (30), said bias stage (30) having connections to said voltage sources (VCC, VPP, VSS) for providing substantially said first low voltage (VCC) to said third output terminal (32) in the absence of said second high voltage (VPP) and providing a third voltage that is greater than said first low voltage (VCC) when said second high voltage (VPP) is present, said third voltage being derived from said second high voltage (VPP). <IMAGE></p> |
