Abstract
An integrated circuit includes an output pad, and I/O driver that drives data to the output pad, and a predriver that controls the I/O driver. The integrated circuit includes maximum voltage generator that receives a first supply voltage and a second supply voltage and outputs to the predriver a maximum voltage corresponding to the higher of the first supply voltage and the second supply voltage.
