摘要: A method of limiting or translating the voltages input signals, and generating output signals such that input's high state low differ by a different voltage than output's state. The present invention also teaches system comprising level translator circuit having translators controlled an operational amplifier Zener diode regulates on one side translators, other being regulated external power supply. diode, in some embodiments invention, ensures second are limited to given reference voltage. Often, resistor is connected amplifier, resistor-capacitor network removes higher-frequency components from includes embodiment, which protect memory bus levels would otherwise cause damage.
