Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include core circuitry connected between a high voltage source and a low voltage source. The core circuitry may include multiple transistors including a first transistor of a first polarity type and a second transistor of a second polarity type that is different than the first polarity type. The integrated circuit may include voltage regulation circuitry connected between an external positive voltage source and ground. The voltage regulation circuitry may operate to provide the low voltage source to the core circuitry. The low voltage source may be equal to or higher than ground. The voltage regulation circuitry may further operate to body bias the multiple transistors with a single voltage that is applied to a body terminal of the first transistor and the second transistor.
