Abstract
A maximum voltage bias control circuit ( ) is provided which accepts two supply voltages (V and V ) and determines the maximum voltage. The maximum voltage is then applied to terminal (V ) with current drivers ( ) used to provide additional current drive to terminal (V ). PMOS transistors ( ) are used to provide proper N-Well bias control of PMOS transistors ( and ).
