Abstract
A biasing circuit includes cascoded transistors including a first transistor and a second transistor. A first gate of the first transistor is coupled to a second gate of the second transistor at a first node. The circuit also includes a voltage control circuit coupled to at least one of the first transistor or the second transistor. The voltage control circuit is configured to change a voltage level of at least one of the first transistor or the second transistor to allow voltage domain transition of an output signal in view of a change in state of an input signal without ramping a supply signal of the biasing circuit.
