Abstract
A semiconductor circuit includes: a first circuit configured to provide first voltage to an output node when a voltage level of an input node is at a first level; a second circuit configured to provide second voltage to the output node when the voltage level of the input node is at a second level; and a third circuit configured to provide third voltage to the output node when the second voltage is provided to the output node, where the second circuit is turned off when the third voltage is provided to the output node.
Claims17
A semiconductor circuit, comprising:
- a first circuit configured to provide a first voltage to an output node when a voltage level of an input node is at a first level;
- a second circuit configured to provide a second voltage to the output node when the voltage level of the input node is at a second level;
- and
- a third circuit configured to provide a third voltage to the output node in response to the second voltage being provided to the output node,
- wherein the second circuit is configured to not provide the second voltage to the output node when the third voltage is provided to the output node.
A semiconductor circuit, comprising:
- an input node;
- an output node;
- a first supply voltage that is selectively supplied to the output node;
- a second supply voltage that is selectively supplied to the output node;
- and
- a third supply voltage that is selectively supplied to the output node;
- wherein the semiconductor circuit is configured so that transition of a voltage level input at the input node from a first level to a second level selectively supplies the second supply voltage to the output node, and thereafter supplies the third supply voltage to the output node, and wherein the semiconductor circuit is further configured to cease supplying the second supply voltage to the output node in response to the third supply voltage being supplied to the output node, and
- wherein the third supply voltage is coupled to the output node by a first transistor and a second transistor that are coupled in series and gated by different nodes of the semiconductor circuit.
