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 3):
The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the cascode circuit paths comprise more than two cascode circuit paths, and wherein the respective feedback paths comprise segments of a cascaded feedback path, the cascaded feedback path segments comprising a first feedback path segment coupled to the first and second control terminals and to a first feedback point between the pair of controllable switches of a first cascode circuit path of the multiple cascode circuit paths and one or more respective further feedback path segments between feedback points in adjacent cascode circuit paths of the multiple cascode circuit paths.
