A device and method to compensate for distortions of amplitude that afflict systems for communicating through capacitive coupling. A circuit includes a first transmitter stage, a first receiver stage, and a first coupling capacitor, coupled between the first transmitter stage and the first receiver stage. The first receiver stage includes a calibration amplifier of a variable-gain type coupled between the first coupling capacitor and an output of the electronic circuit. The electronic circuit includes a reference channel formed by: a transmission calibration stage; a reception calibration stage; and a reference capacitor coupled between the transmission calibration stage and the reception calibration stage. The reception calibration stage includes: a reception amplifier of a variable-gain type, having an input coupled to the reference capacitor, and a gain controller, having an input coupled to an output of the reception amplifier and an output coupled to control terminals of the reception and calibration amplifiers. |
