Abstract

A leakage control circuit and DRAM equipped therewith. The leakage control circuit includes a differential amplifier, a first voltage divider, a second voltage divider, MOS transistors, and a charge pump. The first voltage divider generates a first reference voltage. The second voltage divider generates a second reference voltage. The differential amplifier has a first input receiving the first reference voltage, a second input receiving the second reference voltage, and an output coupled to the input of the charge pump. MOS transistors have drains coupled to the first input of the differential amplifier, gates coupled to the output of the charge pump, and sources coupled to a ground potential.
