Abstract: In order to get the best of both high and low common mode ranges, an adaptive body biasing method using a pair of replica devices is implemented. Each replica device corresponds to a NMOS (or PMOS) device that constitutes the input pair used in a logic circuit or other type of integrated circuits. This configuration helps to increase the threshold voltage of the device, utilizing body effect, at high input common mode voltage, as desired for NMOS, and at low input common mode voltage, as desired for PMOS. At the same time, this configuration scales the threshold back to normal at low input common mode voltages, thereby countering the negative impact of body effect. In short, the body bias applied to the NMOS (or PMOS) device helps in adapting the threshold voltage to the operating condition.
