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 13):
In an integrated circuit facility operating in a standby mode having reduced leakage current, said integrated circuit facility comprising:\n a first circuit adapted to operate in response to a first input and a first supply voltage and develop a first output, said first circuit comprising a high threshold voltage PMOS device and a high threshold voltage NMOS device and a second circuit adapted to operate in response to said first output and a second supply voltage and develop a second output; said second circuit comprising:\n a second PMOS device comprising:\n a source coupled to said second supply voltage; \n a gate coupled to said first output; and \n a drain coupled to said second output; \n \n a second NMOS device comprising:\n a source coupled to a ground supply; \n a gate coupled to said first output; and \n a drain coupled to said second output; \n \n a method for operating said integrated circuit facility, said method comprising:\n developing said first output as a function of said first supply; \n developing a selected one of:\n a positive bias on said second PMOS device gate-to-source voltage if said first output turns on said second NMOS device; and \n a negative bias on said second NMOS device gate-to-source voltage if said first output turns on said second PMOS device.
