Abstract
A circuit for controlling body biasing of a transistor is disclosed. The transistor includes a first terminal, a second terminal, a gate and a body terminal. The circuit includes a body control circuit coupled to the first terminal and the second terminal. The body control circuit is configured to connect the body terminal to ground when a voltage at the second terminal is less than a fix predefined voltage. The body control circuit is further configured to connect the body terminal to the second terminal when voltage at the first terminal is higher than voltage at the second terminal and the voltage at the second terminal is higher than the fix predefined voltage, and to connect the body terminal to the first terminal when the voltage at the first terminal is less than the voltage at the second terminal and the voltage at the first terminal is higher than the fix predefined voltage.
