Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a power switch coupled between a first voltage supply node and an internal voltage supply node and a switch control circuit coupled to a control electrode of the power switch. The switch control circuit includes a driver circuit coupled between a second voltage supply node and a third voltage supply node, a pass-gate having a first node coupled to an output of the driver circuit and a second node coupled to the control electrode of the power switch, a pull-up transistor having a first current electrode coupled to the first voltage supply node, a second current electrode coupled to the control electrode of the power switch, and a bias circuit having a bias output configured to provide a higher voltage between the first and second power supply nodes as a bias voltage to a body electrode of the pull-up transistor.
