Abstract

A cascode circuit arrangement has a low voltage MOSFET and a depletion mode power device mounted on a substrate (for example a ceramic substrate), which can then be placed in a semiconductor package. This enables inductances to be reduced, and can enable a three terminal packages to be used if desired.
