A first transistor of each cell receives an input signal on its base terminal and has its collector terminal coupled to a first voltage reference through a bias member. Advantageously, the second transistor of each cell is a diode configuration, and the cells are interconnected at a common node corresponding to the base terminals of the second transistors in each pair.
