A forward/reverse body bias generator (BBG) which operates under wide supply-range is proposed. Fine-grained body biasing (FGBB) is effective to reduce variability and increase energy efficiency on digital LSIs. Since FGBB requires a number of BBGs to be implemented, simple design is preferred. We propose a BBG with charge pumps for reverse body bias and the BBG operates under wide supply-range from 0.5 V to 1.2 V. Layout of the BBG was designed in a cell-based flow with an AES core and fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS process. Area of the AES core is 0.22 mm² and area overhead of the BBG is 2.3%. Demonstration of the AES core shows a successful operation with the supply voltage from 0.5 V to 1.2 V which enables the reduction of power dissipation, for example, of 17% at 400 MHz operation.
