ABSTRACT:
Circuit and method aspects for translating acceptable voltage levels from an external device to acceptable voltage levels of an internal device are provided. These aspects include coupling an input receiver between the external device and the internal device, the input receiver including a clamp device, and coupling a bias generator to the input receiver at the clamp device, wherein the bias generator ensures proper translation of a high level input signal from the external device by the input receiver. The bias generator further ensures that a predetermined maximum device voltage of the clamp device is not exceeded.
