Abstract
A synchronized data capture circuit configured to synchronize capturing of data in a data signal with a timing signal in an integrated circuit. The synchronized data circuit employs voltage signals having a reduced voltage level, the data signal and the timing signal having a first voltage level higher than the reduced voltage level. The synchronized data capture circuit includes a timing driver circuit arranged to receive the timing signal. The timing driver circuit outputs a reduced voltage timing signal having the reduced voltage level. There is included a data driver circuit arranged to receive the data signal and the timing signal, the data driver outputting a reduced voltage clocked data signal having the reduced voltage level. There is further included a data clocking circuit coupled to the timing driver circuit and the data driver circuit. The data clocking circuit is arranged to receive the reduced voltage timing signal and the reduced voltage clocked data signal. The data clocking circuit outputs a synchronized capture data signal having the first voltage level higher than the reduced voltage level.
