Abstract

See full text

An integrated circuit die includes a plurality of transistors formed in a semiconductor substrate, the body regions of the transistors on a doped well region of the semiconductor substrate. A body bias voltage generator generates a positive body bias voltage, and a negative body bias voltage in the ground body bias voltage. A multiplexer selectively outputs one of the positive, negative, or ground body bias voltage to the doped well region of the semiconductor substrate based on the temperature of the semiconductor substrate.
