发明名称 CMOS CIRCUIT WITH PROGRAMMABLE INPUT THRESHOLD
摘要 A CMOS circuit having an input threshold, the CMOS circuit including a first field-effect transistor having a source connected to a first power supply terminal, a drain connected to an output terminal, a gate connected to an input terminal, and a first channel between the source and the drain having a first width and a first length. A programmable field-effect transistor circuit has a gate terminal connected to the input terminal, a drain terminal connected to the output terminal, a source terminal connected to a second power supply terminal, and a second channel circuit between the drain terminal and the source terminal having an effective width and an effective length. Programmable input terminals are connected to the second channel circuit for changing the ratio of the product of the first width times the effective length to the product of the effective width times the first length such that the input threshold voltage of the CMOS circuit is changed responsive to the change of the ratio. By programming the input terminals and selecting the voltages on the first and second power supply terminals, a universal input buffer for conversion of one logic level voltage to another may be provided.
