    Abstract: A Schmitt trigger circuit having an input coupled to a current summing junction. A trickle current source generates a trickle current applied to the current summing junction. A bandgap current source generates a bandgap current applied to the current summing junction (wherein the bandgap current is fixed when a supply voltage exceeds a threshold). A variable current source generates a variable current applied to the current summing junction (wherein the variable current varies dependent on the supply voltage). At the current summing junction, the variable current is offset against the trickle and bandgap currents with respect to generating a voltage that is sensed at the Schmitt trigger circuit input.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a transistor having a body and a body biasing circuit. The body biasing circuit includes a threshold estimator circuit to estimate a threshold voltage of the transistor and a comparison circuit to compare the threshold voltage of the transistor to a reference threshold voltage and to generate a comparison signal based thereupon. A bias adjust circuit generates a body biasing voltage that biases the body of the transistor as a function of the comparison signal, the body biasing voltage being a voltage that, when applied to the body of the transistor, adjusts the threshold voltage thereof to be equal to the reference threshold voltage.

    Abstract: A generator circuit is coupled to apply a control signal to the gate terminal of a power transistor driving an output node. A reference voltage is generated having a first voltage value as the reference for the control signal and having a second, higher, voltage value for use in stress testing. A clamping circuit is provided between the reference voltage and the power transistor gate to function in two modes. In one mode, the clamping circuit applies a first clamp voltage to clamp the voltage at the gate of the power transistor when the generator circuit is applying the control signal. In another mode, the clamping circuit applies a second, higher, clamp voltage to clamp the gate of the power transistor during gate stress testing.
