Abstract

An apparatus comprising a first stage and a second stage. The first stage may be configured to generate an intermediate signal having a first voltage in response to an input signal having a second voltage received from a pad. The second stage may be configured to generate a core voltage in response to the first voltage. The voltage received from the pad may operate at a voltage compliant with one or more published interface specifications.
