Abstract
An integrated circuit includes at least one differential pair of transistors, a bias current generator that is configured to generate a bias current on a bias node that is coupled to a source terminal of each transistor of said differential pair by a respective resistive element. A compensation current generator is configured to generate a compensation current in one of the two resistive elements so as to compensate for a difference between actual values of the threshold voltages of the transistors of said differential pair.
