Abstract:
A voltage conversion circuit and method that includes applying a positive bias to a PMOS gate to source voltage and/or a negative bias to an NMOS gate to source voltage. These biases serve to further reduce the leakage current of the unselected device of a driver while in standby mode, as well as convert an input signal at one voltage potential to an output voltage at a different voltage potential.

Claim (Index 1):
An integrated circuit facility operating in a standby mode having reduced leakage current, said circuit comprising:\n a first circuit comprising:\n a high threshold voltage PMOS device; and \n a high threshold voltage NMOS device; \n said first circuit being adapted to:\n operate in response to:\n a first input; \n a first supply voltage; and \n a first ground voltage; and \n \n develop a first output; \n \n a second circuit comprising:\n a second PMOS device comprising:\n a source coupled to a second supply voltage; \n a gate coupled to said first output; and \n a drain coupled to a second output; and \n \n a second NMOS device comprising:\n a source coupled to a second ground voltage; \n a gate coupled to said first output; and \n a drain coupled to said second output; \n \n wherein if said first output turns on said second NMOS device, said second PMOS device gate-to-source voltage is positively biased; and if said first output turns on said second PMOS device, said second NMOS device gate-to-source voltage is negatively biased.
