Abstract
A low power biasing circuit for powering up split-rail electronic circuits includes an intermediate voltage generator at each pad which is supplied by a temporary supply voltage to generate a temporary intermediate voltage only when a power signal indicates that all external voltage rails are not safe, thereby reducing power consumption.
