TECHNIQUE OF LESSENING GATE LEAKAGE IN SLEEP MODE TO APPLY INPUT PATTERN TO DEVICES

摘要

PURPOSE: A technique is provided to lessen gate leakage in sleep mode by applying an input pattern to one or more out of a plurality of devices of a circuit. CONSTITUTION: An input pattern is applied to one or more out of the first plurality of devices of a circuit in sleep mode(401). By responding the application of the input pattern, a substantially identical voltage is generated at a source, gate and drain terminals of each of a majority of the first plurality of devices(402). At this time, gate leakage is lessened. The circuit is dynamic circuit.
