Abstract

See full text

A bidirectional voltage translator shifts a voltage level of a first voltage signal to generate a second voltage signal, and vice-versa. The voltage translator includes first and second I/O terminals for receiving and outputting the first and second voltage signals, respectively, and first and second one-shot circuits connected to first and second output transistors, respectively. The outputs of the transistors are connected to the first and second I/O terminals, respectively, and also are fed back to the respective one-shot circuits. When the output of the voltage translator has a high slew-rate, the one of the first and second one-shot circuits that corresponds to the output modulates the gate voltage of the corresponding output transistor based on the feedback signal to control the slew-rate of the output.
