A power supply detecting input receiver circuit (300) can include a multiplexing
capability that can select one of at least two power supplies during a non-critical
timing period. Such selection of a power supply can reduce both the standby and
the active current of input receiver circuit (300). In one arrangement,
an input receiver circuit (300) can include a comparator (310), a
latch (316), and a select circuit (304). A latch (316) can
be enabled to indicate a selection of a supply upon a circuit power-up, as but
one example. A method is disclosed that includes comparing at least two supply
voltages, setting a latch to indicate a selected supply, and providing the selected
supply to an input receiver. The receiver output signal may be voltage-translated
to a suitable internal supply level.
