ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit chip having circuitry to adjust its threshold voltage between a plurality of threshold voltages for interfacing to integrated circuit chips having different supply voltages. The integrated circuit chip also includes circuitry for communicating its threshold voltage level to a second integrated circuit such that the second integrated circuit may set its threshold voltage prior to receiving logic communications from the integrated circuit. The present invention also discloses an integrated circuit that detects the logic level of incoming logic communications and adjusts its threshold voltage accordingly.
