ABSTRACT:
A 2×VDD-tolerant input/output (I/O) buffer circuit with process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) compensation suitable for CMOS technology is disclosed. A 2×VDD-tolerant I/O buffer with a PVT compensation circuit is implemented with novel 2×VDD-tolerant logic gates. Output slew rate variations can be kept within smaller ranges to match maximum and minimum timing specifications. A 2×VDD tolerant logic circuit for implementing the I/O buffer is also disclosed.
