Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed towards apparatus useful for processing communications between different signaling voltage levels. Different signaling voltage levels are accomplished by creating true and complement signals from at least one input signal, each of which are subject to different delays, and level shifting the true and complement signals to a new signaling voltage level. The true or complement signal subject to a smaller timing delay is selected, and used to provide an output signal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus useful for processing communications between different signaling voltage levels by creating true and complement signals from at least one input signal, whereby the true and complement signals are each subject to different timing delays for respective signal transitions, the true and complement signals being level shifted to a new signaling voltage level and one of the true and complement signals being inverted relative to the input signal,…
