Abstract
Aspects of the invention may comprise receiving a first input signal and a second input signal via respective first and second input transistors. A biasing signal, generated by a cascode bias generator, that tracks the first input signal, where the biasing signal has a fixed offset with respect to the first input signal. The biasing signal may be applied to the first and second cascode transistors that may be cascoded to the first and second input transistors, respectively.
