ABSTRACT:
A stress mode circuit is provided to generate a voltage that is either equal to a reference voltage or is a proportion of an external voltage (VCCEXT). The circuit includes two voltage divider circuits to provide the proportion voltage. Two differential amplifiers are provided to generate outputs corresponding to a comparison to the proportion voltage and the reference voltage. The outputs operate switches that couple the reference voltage or the proportion voltage to an output terminal.
