Standby leakage reduction circuitry that uses boosted gate drive of a leakage control transistor during an active mode. A circuit block includes a first leakage control transistor coupled to receive a first supply voltage and coupled in series with an internal circuit block that performs a particular function. A gate drive circuit is included to apply a first boosted gate drive voltage to a gate of the first leakage control transistor during an active mode of the internal circuit block. The gate drive circuit furthers applies a standby gate voltage to the gate during a standby mode of the internal circuit block, the standby gate voltage to cause a gate to source voltage of the leakage control transistor to be reverse-biased.
