Abstract
A device and method for generating a common bias for a device component having a first circuit powered by a first power supply and a second circuit powered by a second power supply. A method includes: arranging a circuit path in a ring oscillator to replicate a logic depth of both the first circuit and the second circuit, wherein the ring oscillator is controlled by the common bias and a first portion of the circuit path is powered by the first power supply and a second portion of the circuit path is powered by the second power supply; outputting an oscillating signal from the ring oscillator; computing common bias voltages based on the oscillating signal; and applying the common bias voltages to the device component.
