Zusammenfassung:A biCMOS interface circuit (12) receives a plurality of incoming signals (IN) at a first level and supplies a plurality of output signals (OUT) at a second level. The interface circuit establishes control voltages which are used to maintain an identical trip point in each of a plurality of translator circuits (22, 24...14). Generally, the trip point is set at midway between the "high" and the "low" levels of the incoming logic signal. The control voltages assure reliable performance over a wide operating environment.
