Abstract

A device can include an operational amplifier (op amp) circuit having a differential transistor pair, a first transistor of the differential transistor pair being formed in a first well of a substrate and a second transistor of the differential transistor pair being formed in a second well of the substrate; a body bias generator configured to generate at least a first body bias voltage for the first well, and not the second well, that varies in response to a first body bias control value; and a control circuit configured to selectively generate the first body bias control value in response to an input offset voltage of the op amp.
