An integrated circuit device having a body bias voltage mechanism. The integrated circuit comprises a resistive structure disposed therein for selectively coupling either an external body bias voltage or a power supply voltage to biasing wells. A first pad for coupling with a first externally disposed pin can optionally be provided. The first pad is for receiving an externally applied body bias voltage. Circuitry for producing a body bias voltage can be coupled to the first pad for coupling a body bias voltage to a plurality of biasing wells disposed on the integrated circuit device. If an externally applied body bias voltage is not provided, the resistive structure automatically couples a power supply voltage to the biasing wells. The power supply voltage may be obtained internally to the integrated circuit.

Selective coupling of voltage feeds for body bias voltage in an integrated circuit device

Provided herein is a blast resistant cargo container sufficiently lightweight to be practical for aircraft transport. The container includes a frame assembly and a plurality of panels. Innovative panel connections between side panels and a unique door latching system improve the weakest links of the container. The plurality of panels includes a top panel, a bottom panel, a plurality of side panels and a flexible door. The side panels and the flexible door are formed of at least one explosion resistant sheet of a flexible, high tensile strength material. Edges of the sheets are wrapped around and secured to a rod. An edge capturing rail is wrapped around the sheets over each rod. The latching mechanism involves retaining a locking rail extending from the door panel in a groove of a doorpost or door sill with a detent bar.

A method and system of voltage compensated integrated circuits. Operating characteristics of integrated circuitry are enhanced by application of voltage compensation.

Voltage compensated integrated circuits

A drive frequency source with two selectable output frequencies connected to two charge pump arrays. A first array of basic charge pump units is connected to the first output frequency and a second array of basic charge pump units is connected to the output frequency. One or more of the basic charge pump units making up the aforementioned first and second charge pump arrays has an enable input allowing its output current contribution to be added or subtracted from the total array output. The output of the first array is coupled to a P-type substrate and the output of the second array is coupled to an N-well residing in the P-type substrate. A controller may be coupled to the drive frequency source for selecting the output frequencies, and an output monitor may be coupled between the array outputs and the controller to provide feedback.

Variable output charge pump circuit

An integrated circuit with body-bias inputs coordinated by a switch at initial power application. A switch coupled to the N-well bias and P-type substrate bias lines of an integrated circuit selectively couples the substrate to ground or the substrate bias supply, depending upon the state of the bias supply lines. During power-up and the initial application of the N-well bias, the substrate is coupled to ground to prevent a leakage induce rise in the substrate potential. Upon sensing the presence of the substrate bias potential on the substrate bias line, the switch couples the substrate to the substrate bias line instead of ground. In another embodiment, a switch indirectly senses the availability of the substrate bias potential by sensing a charge pump enable signal.

System for substrate potential regulation during power-up in integrated circuits

A stabilization component for substrate potential regulation for an integrated circuit device. A comparator is coupled to a charge pump to control the charge pump to drive a substrate potential. A stabilization component is coupled to the comparator and is operable to correct an over-charge of the substrate by shunting current from the substrate.
