Abstract
An integrated circuit can include an operational section comprising a first body bias circuit coupled to drive first body regions to a first bias voltage in response to at least first bias values; a second body bias circuit coupled to drive second body regions to a second bias voltage in response to at least second bias values; a plurality of monitoring sections formed in a same substrate as the operational section, each configured to output a monitor value reflecting a different process variation effect on circuit performance.
