A circuit includes a differential amplifier that generates a differential offset signal on its output terminals. The circuit also includes an offset compensator that has input terminals respectively coupled to the amplifier output terminals and a compensation terminal coupled to the differential amplifier. The compensator maintains the differential offset signal at a predetermined value, for example 0 V. When used in an integrated read-head preamplifier, such a circuit compensates for the nonzero head bias voltage, i.e., the preamplifier input offset voltage, without using a component that is external to the integrated preamplifier circuit.
