Abstract

This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for offsetting reverse-bias leakage of a high impedance bias network. In an example, an apparatus includes an anti-parallel diode pair coupled between a signal node and a common-mode node. The anti-parallel diode pair can include a first diode and a second diode coupled to the first diode. A third diode can be coupled between a supply node and the signal node, and the third diode can be sized to compensate for a parasitic diode junction of the anti-parallel diode pair.
