Design and optimization of high voltage analog and digital circuits built in a standard 5 V CMOS technology

This paper presents a new family of high-voltage (HV) analog and digital circuits which are fully compatible with a standard 5 V CMOS technology, without any process change. On the basis of several circuits, it is shown that HV design can be classified in three categories, for which a common design methodology can be identified. Detailed circuit sizing as well as measurements illustrate the performance achieved with this technique.<>
