cascode


a means to lower the input capacitance of an amplifier by having a grounded cathode (emitter, source) amplifier directly drive a grounded grid (base, gate) amplifer. such a configuration of field-effect transistors or fets is sometimes called a superfet. the principle action of this combination is to eliminate the miller effect, which reduces the gain of a grounded cathode amplifier, particularly when a large plate resistance is used. an improperly biased or miswired cascode is called a cascrode.
i thought the cascode configuration would reduce the input capacitance and raise the gain, but it looks like i got a cascrode.
