1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

  • a transistor that is fabricated on a substrate, the transistor having a body; and

    a switch with a first switch terminal connected to the body and a second switch terminal connected to a reference potential node, the switch configured to be controlled by a control signal to provide a first operating characteristic in the transistor by connecting the body to the reference potential node and to provide a second operating characteristic in the transistor by disconnecting the body from the reference potential node.
