Abstract

An integrated circuit die includes a plurality of transistors formed in a semiconductor substrate, the body regions of the transistors on a doped well region of the semiconductor substrate. A threshold detector selectively applies either a first voltage or second voltage to the doped well region based on whether the temperature of the semiconductor substrate is above or below a threshold temperature.
