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 24):
The method of  claim 21 , further comprising:\n controlling an output impedance of a load circuit that is coupled to an output node of one of the cascode circuit paths of the split cascode circuit for one or more of: maintaining a target Direct Current (DC) level of the output, controlling an impedance at the output node, and defining an overall Alternating Current (AC) transfer characteristic through the one of the cascode circuit paths that includes or is coupled to the output point.
