Abstract
Circuits, devices and methods related to amplification with active gain bypass. In some embodiments, an amplifier can include a first amplification path implemented to amplify a signal, and having a cascode arrangement of a first input transistor and a cascode transistor to provide a first gain for the signal when in a first mode. The amplifier can further include a second amplification path implemented to provide a second gain for the signal while bypassing at least a portion of the first amplification path when in a second mode. The second amplification path can include a cascode arrangement of a second input transistor and the cascode transistor shared with the first amplification path. The amplifier can further include a switch configured to allow routing of the signal through the first amplification path in the first mode or the second amplification path in the second mode.
