Abstract
Various aspects of the disclosure are directed to circuitry coupled for controlling current flow, such as in a cascode arrangement. As may be consistent with one or more embodiments, an apparatus includes a first transistor having a gate, source, channel and drain, and a second transistor having a gate, and having a stacked source, channel and drain. A conductive clip plate electrically connects the drain of the second transistor to the source of the first transistor, and another conductor electrically connects the source of the second transistor to the gate of the first transistor. The second transistor operates with the connecting structure to provide power by controlling the first transistor in an off-state and in an on-state.
