A design structure including a voltage translator circuit and a method for
operating the same. The voltage translator circuit includes (a) an input
node, an output node, and a ground node; (b) a voltage divider circuit
including a first and second resistors coupled in series between the
input node and the ground node; (c) a first circuit coupled to a first
voltage and to the input node; (d) a second circuit coupled to the output
node; and (e) a capacitive circuit having a first and second capacitive
nodes. The first capacitive node is coupled to the voltage divider
circuit. The second capacitive node is coupled (i) to the first voltage
via the first circuit, and (ii) to the output node via the second
circuit. In response to the input node changing towards the first
voltage, the first circuit may disconnect the second capacitive node from
the first voltage.
