Self-bypassing voltage level translator circuit

A voltage level translator circuit is selectively operable in one of at least two modes in response to a control signal. In a first mode, the voltage level translator circuit is operative to translate an input signal referenced to a first source providing a first voltage to an output signal referenc...

Summary:A voltage level translator circuit is selectively operable in one of at least two modes in response to a control signal. In a first mode, the voltage level translator circuit is operative to translate an input signal referenced to a first source providing a first voltage to an output signal referenced to a second source providing a second voltage. In a second mode, the voltage level translator circuit is operative to provide a signal path from an input of the voltage translator circuit to an output thereof without translating the input signal. The control signal is indicative of a difference between the first voltage and the second voltage.
