    Abstract

    This work presents a mixed-voltage I/O buffer realized with 1×V DD devices and single VDD power supply to receive 3×VDD input signals without suffering gate-oxide reliability problems. The proposed I/O buffer is verified in a 0.13μm 1V CMOS process. This technique can be extended to receive 4×VDD, 5×V DD, and even 6×VDD input signals.
