    摘要: An apparatus includes a first amplification stage configured to amplify a first carrier signal and a second amplification stage configured to amplify a second carrier signal. The first amplification stage is direct-current (DC) coupled to the second amplification stage. First circuitry is coupled to the first amplification stage and configured to control a first gain of the first amplification stage. The first circuitry includes a first gain control transistor configured to selectively divert a first bleed current from a first output of the first amplification stage. Second circuitry is coupled to the second amplification stage and configured to control a second gain of the second amplification stage independently of the first gain. The second circuitry includes a second gain control transistor configured to selectively divert a second bleed current from a second output of the second amplification stage.

    摘要: Techniques for improving electro-static discharge (ESD) performance in integrated circuits (IC's). In an aspect, one or more protective diodes are provided between various nodes of the IC. For example, protective diode(s) may be provided between the drain and gate of an amplifier input transistor, and/or between the drain and ground, etc. In certain exemplary embodiments, the amplifier may be a cascode amplifier. Further aspects for effectively dealing with ESD phenomena are described.
