Abstract

Cascode bias structures are provided which enhance control of cascode biases over disturbing effects such as temperature and process variations. Because this enhanced control stabilizes the biases over these disturbing effects, the biases can be reduced to thereby expand the cascode's dynamic range and yet assure that the cascode transistors continue to operate in their proper transistor regions.
