ABSTRACT:
Invertors 23 and 24 operating under a low source voltage receive a reset signal Vr and an input signal Va respectively. Outputs of invertors 23 and 24 are connected to gates of a pMOS transistor 3 and an nMOS transistor 54 respectively, which operate under a high source voltage. The pMOS transistor 3 and the nMOS transistor 54 are connected in series, operating under a high source voltage. The pMOS transistor 3 has a threshold voltage which is approximately equal to the low source voltage.
