Abstract
A transition detect circuit includes: a first input port referenced to a first supply voltage node and a second input port referenced to a second supply voltage node. The circuit simultaneously monitors both ports for transitions, and once a transition occurs, directly generates the translated control signals at its output. Once a transition occurs at the inputs, the translated control signal is generated at the output within at most two gate delays. The circuit has very low quiescent current.
