Abstract

A system for reducing noise in a chip is disclosed and may include a substrate, a first well disposed on top of the substrate, a second well and a third well that are both disposed within the first well, a first transistor disposed in the second well, a positive potential of a voltage source connected to a body of the first transistor, and a second transistor disposed in the third well. The first transistor is a PMOS transistor, and the second transistor is an NMOS transistor. A noisy voltage source may be coupled to a source of the first transistor. A body of the first transistor may be resistively coupled to the second well. The system may include a noisy voltage source, where a body and a source of the second transistor are both coupled to the noisy voltage source.
