On-chip substrate voltage generator

Abstract

disclosed is an apparatus for generating and controlling a desired substrate potential level or a semiconductor chip. A pulse source, such as an oscillator, provides a pulse train which, in combination with a control signal from the substrate voltage detector, selectively discharges a capacitor in a voltage level converter for obtaining a desired level of substrate potential. A feedback path through the substrate regulates the conductivity of a reference transistor in the substrate voltage detector providing the required control signal.
