Leakage currents across circuit components such as transistors are avoided by placing circuits into a low-leakage standby mode. The circuits are configured such that voltage differentials across leakage-prone circuit components are avoided when in standby mode. Various means are used to configure the...http://www.google.de/patents/US7315201?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7315201 - Methods and systems for reducing leakage current in semiconductor circuits
