Problems solved by technology

In the cascode structure, the gates of each cascaded transistor are connected to different bias voltages, the number of bias voltages is large, the bias circuit is complicated, and a large amount of chip area and power consumption are consumed; due to the cascode structure The bias voltage cannot follow the change of the input signal, the input swing range is limited, and the swing range is small
The multi-level cascaded structure doubles the chip area and power consumption, and the cost is high. It also increases the number of poles in the circuit, making the stability of the circuit a prominent problem, which in turn requires a complex frequency compensation circuit to stabilize the amplifier.
The gain enhancement technology is based on the cascode structure, which makes the bias circuit more complicated
