High speed, low power consumption, isolated analog CMOS unit

摘要

A semiconductor device 100 has N-well regions 18 holding PMOS devices 110, 112 and P-type regions 14 holding NMOS devices 114, 116. Devices 110 and 114 have high thresholds and devices 112 and 116 have low thresholds. The PMOS devices are junction isolated from the substrate 10 by the N-well 18 and the NMOS devices are isolated from the substrate by the N-type layer 13. Field oxide regions 20 laterally isolate the PMOS from the NMOS devices. The high threshold CMOS devices 110, 114 connect the low threshold CMOS devices to opposite rails Vdd and Vss. A control terminal 121 turns the high threshold devices on to let the low threshold devices switch rapidly. In stand-by mode, the high threshold devices are off and there is very low leakage current.
