    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC), random access memory on an IC and method of neutralizing device floating body effects. A floating body effect monitor monitors circuit/array activity and selectively provides an indication of floating body effect manifestation from inactivity, including the lapse of time since the most recent activity or memory access. A pulse generator generates a neutralization pulse in response to an indication of inactivity. A neutralization pulse distribution circuit passes the neutralization pulse to blocks in the circuit path or to array cells.
