Abstract

A driver circuit and associated techniques include managing voltage driving an electronic device. An input signal having a first voltage level is received. Processes may perform level shifting of the first voltage level to a second voltage level. The second voltage level may be clamped, for instance, but a diode circuit. The second output voltage level may be programmable, as may be current and resistance levels of the driver circuit.
