Abstract:
Split cascode circuits include multiple cascode paths coupled between voltage supply rails. Each cascode path includes a pair of controllable switches. A feedback path is provided for at least one of the cascode circuit paths. An active load circuit may also have a split cascode structure. Multiple-stage circuits, for implementation in Trans-Impedance Amplifiers (TIAs) or analog Receive Front-End modules (RXFEs), for example, include multiple stages of split cascode circuits.

Claim (Index 21):
A method comprising:\n receiving an input signal in a split cascode circuit that includes a first controllable switch coupled to a first voltage supply rail and having a first control terminal, a second controllable switch coupled to a second voltage supply rail different from the first voltage supply rail and having a second control terminal coupled to the first control terminal, multiple cascode circuit paths coupled between the first controllable switch and the second controllable switch, each of the cascode circuit paths comprising a respective pair of controllable switches, and a feedback path coupled to the first and second control terminals and one of the cascode circuit paths; controlling gain and input impedance of the split cascode circuit by controlling current flow through the multiple cascode circuit paths.
