Abstract
A circuit for translating a voltage of a digital signal from a first voltage level of a first voltage domain to a second voltage level of a second voltage domain is disclosed. The circuit includes a configurable circuit to be coupled between the first voltage domain and the second voltage domain. The configurable circuit includes a plurality of parallel data paths, wherein the configurable circuit is configured to enable only one of the plurality of data paths at a given time. A first path in the plurality of parallel data paths is configured to be enabled when the first voltage level is greater than the second voltage level and a second path in the plurality of parallel data paths is configured to be enabled when the first voltage level is lesser than the second voltage level.
