Method and apparatus for controlling latch-up in a CMOS circuit senses a power supply transition, clamps the substrate to ground in response to sensing a power supply transition, and releases the clamp after the power supply transition. A charge pump pumps the substrate illustratively to -3 volts. The charge pump, clamping transistor and related elements are on the same CMOS substrate where latch-up is to be controlled. The substrate to ground capacitance of the substrate is increased to prevent localized substrate voltage disturbances which may induce latch-up.
