Cascode amplifier - small signal analysis (part 1)

In this video, we dive deep into the small signal analysis of the cascode amplifier, focusing specifically on the case where a current source acts as the load. A breakdown of the key concepts is shown and how to approach gain calculations in a simpler way - using -Gm*Rout method instead of directly computing Vout/Vin. Whether you're new to cascodes or looking for a smarter way to analyze them, this video lays the foundation for understanding their performance, especially in analog and RF circuits.
