High voltage protection for high-speed data interface
Abstract:
Various apparatuses, systems, methods, and media are disclosed to provide over-voltage protection to a data interface of a multi-protocol memory card that includes a first communication interface and a second communication interface that enable communication using different protocols. An interface voltage protection circuit includes a control circuit configured to receive a first supply voltage for operating the first communication interface. The interface voltage protection circuit further includes a pull-down circuit operatively connected with the control circuit, configured to pull down a voltage at a supply voltage rail of the second communication interface such that a voltage at a plurality of connector terminals of the second communication interface is lower than the first supply voltage.
