ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for discharging the body of a monitored SOI device through first and second discharge circuits. The second discharge circuit is selectively activated when the body potential of the monitored SOI device is at a level such that the body charge of the monitored SOI device cannot be discharged entirely through the first discharge circuit within normal operating cycle time allowances.
