A level translator block receives a control signal and a data signal and provides an interface between circuitry operating in a first voltage domain and circuitry operating in a second voltage domain. Thick-oxide transistors are appropriately used in the level translator block to reduce gate leakage currents when translating signals.

Level shifter and voltage translator

An integrated circuit having a state retentive memory structure to store state values. A high performance section uses thin gate-oxide transistors and the state retentive memory structure uses thick gate-oxide transistors to capture and retain the state values when operating in a low power mode.
