Abstract: A voltage level converter device for the conversion of an input signal, which is at a first voltage level, into an output signal, which is at a second voltage level that differs from the first voltage level, where the voltage level converter device has at least one transistor, and in which an additional transistor, controlled by a control signal at a voltage level corresponding to that of the input signal, is provided in a current path that is to be accordingly switched on or off when the output signal switches over for switching that path on or off.

Circuits and methods to reduce or eliminate signal-dependent modulation of a reference bias
Alfio Zanchi,David M. Thomas,Joseph L. Sousa,Andrew Thomas,Jesper Steensgaard-Madsen +4 more
- 07 Nov 2008
TL;DR: In this paper, a voltage reference driver circuit that maintains a substantially constant output voltage when a load current is modulated by an input signal is provided, which synchronously decouples a voltage regulation circuit from the load circuit when modulating events such as pulses caused by the load circuits during a switching interval are generated, preventing disturbance of the regulation circuitry and keeping its output voltage substantially constant.
