Abstract
To compensate for process, activity and environmental variations in a semiconductor device, a ratio of a transistor on-current to a transistor off-current within the semiconductor device is detected. The detected ratio is compared with a target ratio to adjust a bias potential of the semiconductor device to bring the detected ratio of the transistor on-current to the transistor off-current to the target ratio.
