An amplifying circuit includes a first reconfigurable amplifier configured to selectively operate in a cascode mode or a non-cascode mode, wherein an input of the first reconfigurable amplifier is coupled to a first input of the amplifying circuit, and an output of the first reconfigurable amplifier is coupled to an output of the amplifying circuit. The amplifying circuit also includes a second reconfigurable amplifier configured to selectively operate in the cascode mode or the non-cascode mode, wherein an input of the second reconfigurable amplifier is coupled to a second input of the amplifying circuit, and an output of the second reconfigurable amplifier is coupled to the output of the amplifying circuit.
An apparatus, comprising:
A method of amplification using a first reconfigurable amplifier and a second reconfigurable amplifier, wherein each of the first reconfigurable amplifier and the second reconfigurable amplifier is configured to selectively operate in a cascode mode or a non-cascode mode, the method comprising:
