What is a cascode arrangement?

  • A.Two common emitters directly coupled in series
  • B.A common collector driving a common collector
  • C.Two devices in parallel sharing one collector load
  • D.A common emitter followed by a common base

Answer: D

A cascode puts a common-base stage above a common-emitter stage, so the lower device sees almost no voltage swing and its Miller capacitance is not multiplied. The result is the gain of a common emitter with the bandwidth of a common base. The other options describe cascades, followers and parallel devices. Arranging two stages so that each supplies what the other lacks is the essence of a composite, and the cascode is the cleanest example in electronics.
