Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method and system for providing 5V tolerant and back-drive circuit protection for a receiver input interface. In a receiver input back-drive protection circuit and method, a pass gate is provided between the high pad voltage and the receiver input and a clamping circuit is provided, to present a reduced voltage to the receiver input during stress mode.
