Leak current detection circuit, body bias control circuit, semiconductor device, and semiconductor device testing method
Abstract:
A leak current detection circuit that improves the accuracy for detecting a leak current in a MOS transistor without enlarging the circuit scale. The leak current detection circuit includes at least one P-channel MOS transistor which is coupled to a high potential power supply and which is normally inactivated and generates a first leak current, at least one N-channel MOS transistor which is coupled between a low potential power and at least the one P-channel MOS transistor and which is normally inactivated and generates a second leak current, and a detector which detects a potential generated at a node between the at least one P-channel MOS transistor and the at least one N-channel MOS transistor in accordance with the first and second leak currents.
