摘要
A method includes controllably generating a first bias voltage (206) from a supply voltage to be within an upper tolerable limit of an operating voltage of one or more constituent active circuit element(s) of an Input/Output (IO) core device of an integrated circuit (IC) to be interfaced with an IO pad (304), and controllably generating a second bias voltage (208) from an external voltage supplied through the IO pad (304) to be within the upper tolerable limit of the operating voltage of the one or more constituent active circuit element(s) of the IO core device to be interfaced with the IO pad. The method also includes controllably utilizing a control signal (204) generated by the IO core to derive an output bias voltage (210) from the first bias voltage (206) during a driver mode of operation or the second bias voltage (208) during a failsafe mode of operation and a tolerant mode of operation.
