The key feature is represented by the dynamic behavior of the energy-speed trade-off between static power and local variations, which is determined by applying a variable positive or negative voltage to the transistor's back-gate. In this design, the negative voltage is internally generated by a charge-pump and the number of external components is then limited to one external buffer capacitor. The back bias voltage can be changed from 2 to -2V in 1ms for a maximum well capacitance of 6nF, which corresponds to an active area of 1.8.en621621004006conference paper
