Abstract
A dynamic feedback bias circuit. A system utilizing the dynamic bias circuit includes a first bus agent and a second bus agent. The first bus agent generates a first signal having a first voltage swing. The second bus agent has a core which operates at a core operating voltage, the core operating voltage having an amplitude less than the first voltage swing. The second bus agent has an input device which receives the first signal from the first bus agent. The input device of the second bus agent is biased by the dynamic feedback bias circuit to provide a core signal with a voltage swing approximately equal to or less than the core operating voltage.
