    Abstract: A circuit can include a first transistor including a source and a gate; a second transistor including a drain and a gate, wherein the source of the first transistor is coupled to the drain of the second transistor; and a switchable element. In one embodiment, a first current-carrying terminal of the switchable element is coupled to the gate of the first transistor, and a second current-carrying terminal of the switchable element is coupled to the gate of the second transistor. In another embodiment, the switchable element is coupled to the gate of the first transistor and includes a first selectable terminal of the switchable element coupled to a source of the second transistor, and a second selectable terminal of the switchable element coupled to the gate of the second transistor. In a particular embodiment, the circuit can be a cascode circuit

    Abstract: An electronic device can include a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can include a drain electrode including drain fingers spaced apart from the source fingers; a source electrode including source fingers spaced apart from the drain fingers; and a gate electrode including a runner, gate fingers and a conductive bridge. In an embodiment, the runner includes a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion, the gate fingers are coupled to the runner and each gate finger is disposed between a pair of the source and drain fingers. The conductive bridge connects at least two gate fingers, wherein the conductive bridge is along a conduction path between the first and second portions of the runner. Designs for the temperature sensor may provide a more accurate temperature measurement reflective of a transistor within the electronic device.
