Abstract

The invention relates to a device for setting at stand-by a bias source through a stand-by control signal, including an inverter with an active load controlled by the bias source. The inverter includes a first p-channel MOS transistor, whose source is connected to a positive terminal of the supply voltage of the bias source, whose drain constitutes the inverter output connected to a control input of the bias source, and whose gate constitutes the input of the inverter receiving the stand-by inducing control signal.
