Processing circuitry comprising: a reference node for connection to a reference voltage source so as to establish a local reference voltage signal at the reference node; a signal processing unit connected to the reference node and operable to process an input signal using the local reference voltage signal, wherein the signal processing unit is configured to draw a current from the reference node at least a portion of which is dependent on the input signal; and a current-compensation unit connected to the reference node and operable to apply a compensation current to the reference node, wherein the current-compensation unit is configured, based on an indicator signal indicative of the input signal and/or of the operation of the signal processing unit, to control the compensation current to at least partly compensate for changes in the current drawn from the reference node by the signal processing unit due to the input signal.
