Patent attributes
An amplifier includes an input terminal, an output terminal, a cascode circuit with a first and a second transistor serially coupled between an output terminal and a terminal of a predefined potential with a control terminal of the first transistor being coupled to the input terminal, a first bipolar transistor having a collector/emitter path, forming a series circuit coupled to the terminal of a predefined potential with the first transistor, a power supply circuit for providing power supply voltages over a cascode circuit and a series circuit and a second bipolar transistor coupled between the output terminal and the terminal of the predefined potential with bases of the first bipolar transistor and the second bipolar transistor being coupled to each other and a current source.
