Abstract

In some examples, a circuit can include a first buffer circuit that can be configured to receive a first clock signal and a first output voltage. The first buffer circuit can be configured to operate in a first voltage domain based on the first output voltage. The circuit can include a second buffer circuit configured to receive a second clock signal, the second buffer circuit being configured to operate in a second voltage domain based on the second output voltage. The first voltage domain can be different from the second voltage domain. In some examples, one of the first and second buffer circuits can be configured to provide one of the first and second clock signals as a clock output signal at a clock output terminal in response to a clock enable signal.
