Abstract
Low voltage transistors are used in high voltage environment. The low voltage transistors may be used in the path of processing of a signal to increase the throughput performance. By using high voltage supply associated with the high voltage environment, a higher SNR may be attained. Various techniques are implemented to ensure that the low voltage transistors are not damaged by prolonged exposure to high voltages.
