Abstract

An input receiver for stepping down a high power domain input signal for a high power domain powered by a high power supply voltage into an output signal for a low power domain includes a waveform splitter. The waveform splitter splits the high power domain input signal into a high voltage signal and a low voltage signal. A high voltage input receiver receives the high voltage signal to produce a received high voltage that is level shifted into a first input signal. A low voltage input receiver receives the low voltage signal to produce a second input signal. A logic circuit generates the output signal from the first input signal and the second input signal.
