ABSTRACT:
An input structure transmits legacy signals to internal logic of a low voltage integrated circuit. The input structure includes a first node coupled to both a resistor voltage divider and a capacitor voltage divider, both of which have center taps coupled together, and also to the internal logic. The capacitor and resistor voltage dividers function to divide the higher voltage logic level range associated with the legacy signals to the low voltage logic level range suitable for input to the internal logic.
