Abstract
Systems and methods for integrated circuits comprising multiple body bias domains. In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, an integrated circuit is constructed comprising active semiconductor devices in first and second body bias domains. A first body biasing voltage is coupled to the first body bias domain, and a second body biasing voltage is coupled to the second body bias domain. The first and the second body biasing voltages are adjusted to achieve a desirable relative performance between the active semiconductor devices in the first and the second body bias domains.
