Abstract
An integrated circuit apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention has an NMOS transistor and a source voltage controller which controls the source voltage of the NMOS transistor according to operation mode. The source voltage controller changes the source voltage according to temperature. Since this integrated circuit apparatus changes the source voltage of the MOSFET based on temperature, it is controlled to have desired leakage current regardless of temperature change.
