Claim:
1. Circuitry comprising: a floating-body main field-effect transistor (FET) device comprising a gate contact, a drain contact, and a source contact; a body-contacted cascode FET device comprising a gate contact, a drain contact coupled to a supply voltage, and a source contact coupled to the drain contact of the floating-body main FET device and to a body region of the body-contacted cascode FET device; and biasing circuitry coupled to the gate contact of the floating-body main FET device and the gate contact of the body-contacted cascode FET device and configured to provide biasing signals to the floating-body main FET device and the body-contacted cascode FET device such that a majority of the supply voltage is provided across the body-contacted cascode FET device.
