Abstract
A single-ended comparator is disclosed herein. The comparator may be implemented with low-voltage semiconductor devices that are capable of operating with high-voltage signals at an input. The single-ended comparator may be integrated in a larger circuit to receive and detect information provided on the input at voltage levels higher than the levels supported by the rest of the circuit, and transfer the information in the received signal for use by the rest of the circuit.
