摘要
A method in an integrated circuit for implementing a reduced voltage repeater circuit on a signal line having thereon reduced voltage signals. The reduced voltage signals has a voltage level that is below VDD. The reduced voltage repeater circuit is configured to be coupled to the signal line and having an input node coupled to a first portion of the signal line for receiving a first reduced voltage signal and an output node coupled to a second portion of the signal line for outputting a second reduced voltage signal. The method includes coupling the input node to the first portion of the signal line. The input node is coupled to an input stage of the reduced voltage repeater circuit. The input stage is configured to receive the first reduced voltage signal on the signal line. The input stage is also coupled to a level shifter stage that is arranged to output a set of level shifter stage control signals responsive to the first reduced voltage signal. A voltage range of the set of level shifter stage control signals is higher than a voltage range associated with the first reduced voltage signal. There is further included coupling the output node to the second portion of the signal line. The output node also is coupled to an output stage of the reduced voltage repeater circuit. The output stage is configured to output the second reduced voltage signal on the output node responsive to the set of level shifter stage control signals. A voltage range of the second reduced voltage signal is lower than the voltage range of the set of level shifter stage control signals.
