Abstract
Power gating circuits. A transistor stack is coupled between a voltage supply to provide a gated supply voltage. The supply voltage is greater than the maximum junction voltage of the individual transistors in the transistor stack. Termination circuitry for input/output (I/O) lines coupled to operate using the gated supply voltage. The termination circuitry comprising at least a resistive element coupled between an I/O interface and a termination voltage supply.
