Abstract
A circuit for scaling down first and second input voltages includes first and second voltage scale-down circuits that scale down the first and second input voltages, respectively. The first voltage scale-down circuit includes a transistor that receives the first input voltage at its gate and, operating in a source-follower configuration, scales down the first input voltage to generate a first output voltage at its source. The second voltage scale-down circuit is identical to the first voltage scale-down circuit and generates a second output voltage based on the second input voltage.
