Abstract:
In one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes at least one logic circuit supplied by a first supply voltage and at least one memory circuit coupled to the logic circuit and supplied by a second supply voltage. The memory circuit is configured to be read and written responsive to the logic circuit even if the first supply voltage is less than the second supply voltage during use. In another embodiment, a method includes a logic circuit reading a memory cell, the logic circuit supplied by a first supply voltage; and the memory cell responding to the read using signals that are referenced to the first supply voltage, wherein the memory cell is supplied with a second supply voltage that is greater than the first supply voltage during use.

Claim (Index 12):
An integrated circuit comprising:\n a logic circuit in a first voltage domain, the first voltage domain corresponding to a first power supply and a first power supply voltage having a first power supply voltage value during use; a memory array comprising a plurality of memory cells, wherein the plurality of memory cells are in a second voltage domain corresponding to a second power supply voltage having a second power supply voltage value different from the first power supply voltage value at least for at least a subset of memory operations during use, and wherein the logic reads and writes data to the memory array; and an interface between the first and second voltage domains comprising level shifting circuitry, wherein the level shifting circuitry:\n converts voltage levels of one or more of address, timing, control, address, and input data output from the logic circuit and input to the memory circuit into voltage levels supplied to the plurality of memory cells, and; \n converts voltage levels of data output from the plurality of memory cells into voltage levels supplied to the logic circuit.
