Abstract
An interface cell for circuit adjustment can be structured to adjust parameters of a circuit of an integrated circuit. The interface cell can be implemented in a small area on a die for the integrated circuit. The interface cell can be arranged for circuit adjustment, such as post package trim of the circuit. The interface cell can include a control device and a low voltage circuit. The control device can be implemented as a single device, or a device having a limited number of additional components, that interfaces a high voltage domain to a low voltage domain of the low voltage circuit. The control device can be enabled to provide the signals to the low voltage circuit of the interface cell to adjust parameters of the circuit and can be disabled to isolate the circuit from the interface cell after providing the signals to the low voltage circuit.
