Abstract
A voltage level translator translates signals between first and second voltage domains. An output buffer for a channel thereof includes a first plurality of PFETs and a first plurality of NFETS that are coupled to provide staggering of the output signal. A supply difference sensing circuit can disable staggering when an input voltage supply is greater than or equal to a VCCI trigger for the output voltage supply.
