<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low leakage voltage detection circuit and method for not generating a leakage current due to a gate electrode drive voltage signal being an insufficient voltage. <P>SOLUTION: A low leakage voltage detection circuit includes a transmission gate 202, a feedback channel 204, and a controller 200, and is placed between a first device supplied with power by a first potential and a second device supplied with power by a second potential. Potential mismatch between the first device and the second device may cause a leakage current flowing through an input stage of the second device. By employing the low leakage voltage detection circuit, a high logic level generated by the first device is converted into a high logic level roughly equal to an amplitude of the second potential in correspondence. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
