Abstract

In the present invention an apparatus and method for providing compensation against temperature, process and supply voltage variation in MOS circuits has been proposed. The invention provides a change in process, temperature and voltage detection circuit, which controls the body bias and the drive of the devices in the CMOS circuit. The detection circuit is independent of any input or internal signal of the CMOS circuit to be controlled.
