Abstract:
A voltage tracking circuit includes first, second, third and fourth transistors. The first transistor is in a first well, and includes a first gate, a first drain and a first source coupled to a first voltage supply. The second transistor includes a second gate, a second drain and a second source. The second source is coupled to the first drain. The second gate is coupled to the first gate and the pad voltage terminal. The third transistor includes a third gate, a third drain and a third source. The fourth transistor includes a fourth gate, a fourth drain and a fourth source. The fourth drain is coupled to the third source. The fourth source is coupled to the pad voltage terminal. The fourth transistor is in a second well different from the first well, and is separated from the first well in a first direction.
