Abstract
A logic device operates with reduced leakage current. Controllability is achieved by using a reference voltage to control the amount of leakage reduction. A method of temperature dependent reference voltage generation is given which maintains virtual supply in acceptable range to provide sufficient noise margin in logic devices including memory cells.
