Abstract

Systems and methods for generating internal chip supply bias from high voltage control line inputs are presented. One of a plurality of the high voltage control lines is selected and accordingly internal path switching circuitry is enabled to pass the selected high voltage control line while protecting the associated components from over-stress.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An integrated circuit comprising:
an internal integrated circuit supply node;
a charging capacitor connected to the internal integrated circuit supply node;
a plurality of individually selectively activatable transistor arrangements inclusive of pass transistors for selectively passing respective input control voltages to the internal integrated circuit supply node in order to supply power to the integrated circuit; and
a corresponding plurality…
