Abstract

See full text

A circuit can include a first transistor including a source and a gate; a second transistor including a drain and a gate, wherein the source of the first transistor is coupled to the drain of the second transistor; and a switchable element. In one embodiment, a first current-carrying terminal of the switchable element is coupled to the gate of the first transistor, and a second current-carrying terminal of the switchable element is coupled to the gate of the second transistor. In another embodiment, the switchable element is coupled to the gate of the first transistor and includes a first selectable terminal of the switchable element coupled to a source of the second transistor, and a second selectable terminal of the switchable element coupled to the gate of the second transistor. In a particular embodiment, the circuit can be a cascode circuit.
