Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include signal generation circuitry that receives an input signal from a first voltage domain and generates multiple internal signals based on the input signal. The integrated circuit may include signal evaluation circuitry that receives the multiple internal signals from the signal generation circuitry and provides an intermediate signal based on the multiple internal signals. The integrated circuit may include signal conversion circuitry that receives the intermediate signal and provides an output signal for a second voltage domain based on the intermediate signal. The integrated circuit may include signal protection circuitry that receives the input signal from the first voltage domain, receives the intermediate signal from the signal evaluation circuitry, and allows the input signal until the intermediate signal transitions between a first state and a second state that is different than the first state.
