Abstract

A leakage measuring circuit includes a bias input node control circuit and provides a signal indicative of a leakage current through the bias input node. The bias input node control circuit includes a first input to receive an indication of a reference voltage, a second input to receive an indication of a voltage of the bias input node, and an output to bias the bias input node at the reference voltage based on a relationship between the first and second input. A well voltage bias circuit provides a well bias voltage and includes a well bias control circuit including a first input to receive the signal indicative of the leakage current, a second input to receive a signal indicative of a reference leakage current value, and an output for controlling the well bias voltage based on a relationship between the first and second input of the well bias control circuit.
