Pad tracking circuit for high-voltage input-tolerant output buffer
The present invention provides a circuit including an output buffer, a tracking circuit and a pre-driver, where the output buffer includes at least one P-type transistor and at least one N-type transistor, the at least one P-type transistor is coupled between a supply voltage and a pad, and the at least one N-type transistor is coupled between a ground voltage and the pad. In the operations of the circuit, the tracking circuit is configured to generate a tracking signal control signal according to a voltage level at the pad, and the pre-driver is configured to generate a control signal to control the at least one P-type transistor or the at least one N-type transistor according to the tracking signal.
