A differential input stage includes first and second input transistors with current flow paths are coupled between a tail transistor current flow path and first and second nodes, respectively. An output stage includes first and second output transistors having current flow paths between a supply line and first and second output nodes, respectively, coupled to the first and second nodes. First and second common-mode control transistors have current flow paths jointly coupled to a ground current flow path of a common-mode tail transistor. The first common-mode control transistor has a control terminal resistively coupled to the first and second output nodes. A bias duplicate transistor has a current flow path arranged in a bias current flow line between the supply line and ground. The bias duplicate transistor is coupled in a 1:N current mirror arrangement with the tail transistor in the differential input stage.
