BJT Circuit Analysis: The CASCODE Amplifier (Pt 1) (066g1)

Here is yet another configuration of bipolar junction transistors called the CASCODE Amplifier.

It has its roots in the 1930s and was originally created with triode vacuum tubes to extend the high-end frequency response of video amplifiers.

This is the introductory video explaining the WHY behind this configuration and the HOW it works behind its operation.

In the next video I wil be showing you how to design one and demonstrating the benefits of this configuration both in the simulation world and with a bench experiment.
