Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a structure and method to ground a reference voltage generator based on a detected supply voltage. A circuit structure according to the disclosure includes a pass gate. The pass gate includes a pair of transistors each coupled to an input signal. One of the pair of transistors of the pass gate includes a gate coupled to a static reference voltage. An inverter couples an output from the pass gate to a device node. The inverter includes a drain terminal, a gate terminal, and a back-gate terminal coupled to ground.
