Abstract
A method of biasing a circuit includes generating a control bias signal based on a difference between a leakage current of a baseline circuit and a reference signal; applying the control bias signal to a charge pump circuit to set a value of a reverse body bias voltage output from the charge pump, the control bias signal providing analog control of a digital clock of the charge pump circuit; and applying the reverse body bias voltage to a body of the baseline circuit.
