Abstract
Described herein is a low-voltage multi-stage interleaver. The interleaver includes at least a first interleaver stage and a second interleaver stage. The first interleaver stage is either blocked or operating in a saturation region. The first interleaver stage facilitates cancellation of DC current, including a biasing current, so that the second interleaver stage receives no DC current input. The second interleaver stage is either blocked or operating in a linear region to allow the second interleaver stage to act as a passive current switch.
