1.2 V Interface Problems

APPLICATION NOTE
Many integrated circuits such as microprocessors and
DSPs need to operate at very low voltage in order to
conserve power and not over dissipate. Issues arise when the
designer has a device, like a DSP, operating at 1.2 V and
needs to interface with other semiconductors operating at
3.3 V or more.
When performing the interface between a 3.3 V (or any
voltage between 1.2 V and 3.3 V) the one single answer that
solves all problems, simply with a minimum of board space,
is the NL17SVyyyXV5T2 family. With the six available
devices, the signal can be applied to the input and brought
to the DSP in the fastest possible time (minimum delay),
while occupying minimum board space and consuming
minimum power.
are used, the circuit will perform the required voltage
division. The loading will be 330 Ω and draw 1.0 mA when
the device is on. If it is assumed to be a 50% duty cycle, then
the power consumption for the simple resistor divider will
be 16 mW. This power consumption is so high that it would
be ruled out immediately. If we would have used larger value
resistors, the frequency response would be impaired and
35 MHz would be impossible. The delay time through this
circuit will be about 15 to 20 ns.
A second possible scheme might be to use a transistor. If
an NPN transistor were used, it would need a voltage
division scheme similar to Figure 1 and the values would
need to be the same in order to keep the frequency response
to > 50 MHz f . Power dissipation would be actually
3dB
The designer might ask why not simply use resistors to
perform voltage division? Resistors can certainly be used for
some applications but they consume power and limit the
operating frequency and create a delay (when the designer
includes the C of the input device). Figure 1 illustrates the
use of two resistors to limit the voltage on the DSP. For
simplicity, this article will not take into account tolerance
issues. That will be left to the reader if he chooses this
higher than for the passive case because we would have a
third resistor from 1.2 V to the collector (Figure 2). We
would have another 5.0 mW of power dissipation due to the
output resistor. This solution would consume > 20 mW of
power and again is outrageously high in the power budget.
In addition, the manufacturer would have to place three parts
(three resistors and one transistor or one BRT plus one
resistor). Delay time would be longer than the passive
solution above, hence more costly and would present
absolutely no advantage over the simple resistive divider.
approach. In all cases, we will use V = 3.3 V, V = 1.2 V,

It should be noticed that the signal is inverted for the case
Since the 3.3 V logic is only driving a capacitive input,
there is very little power dissipation at the input. To calculate
the total power consumed, we must use a different equation
of the transistor. This may or may not be desirable. In fact,
the phase inversion would be the only plausible reason to
prefer the transistor case over the passive resistor divider.
The last option that will be presented will be the
ON Semiconductor sub−one volt family, NL17SVxx
products. We have the choice of inverted or non−inverted
output. Since the devices are Over−Voltage Tolerant (OVT)
at their inputs, the designer may simply apply the 3.3 V
signal to the input of the device. For this application,
Figure 3 shows the supply voltage to the device will be 1.2
V. This assures that the output will be logic level compatible
with the device that it is driving.

Conclusion
The use of a single gate for logic level translation saves
90% of the power required for a passive solution and even
more compared to a transistor solution. The manufacturer
needs only to place one part versus two or more for any other
approach. The time delay is much faster and less circuit
dependent. Output may be either inverted or non−inverted
(by selecting appropriate single gate device). The circuit
will easily operate past 50 MHz, if needed at 1.2 V. It is clear
that this is the only practical solution for logic level
translation at low power.
