A universal CMOS voltage interface circuit

A CMOS interface circuit to transfer a digital signal between two circuits of different supply voltages is described. The interface can be used, for example, between 3 volt and 5 volt or higher voltage families. The principal characteristics of the interface circuit are: no static power dissipation, high speed, and high speed buffering.
