ABSTRACT:
Voltage translator apparatus to translate TTL or CMOS logic level inputs to 0/-5 V logic levels that is insensitive to temperative and bias supply variation. A unique circuit structure comprises a level shift stage employing transistors configured to level shift a source of operating potential to a controlling potential to be applied to a predriver stage. The controlling potential is a function of the input logic levels. The predriver stage drives an output stage capable of providing complementary 0/-5 V logic outputs. The configuration is such as to afford low power consumption as well as proper operation over wide bias supply and temperature ranges.
