A receiver front end capable of receiving and processing intraband non-contiguous carrier aggregate (CA) signals using multiple low noise amplifiers (LNAs). Cascode circuits, each having a “common source” configured input FET and a “common gate” configured output FET, serve as the LNAs. An amplifier-branch control switch, configured to withstand relatively high voltage differentials by means of a relatively thick gate oxide layer and coupled between a terminal of the output FET and a power supply, controls the ON and OFF state of each LNA while enabling use of a relatively thin gate oxide layer for the output FETs, thus improving LNA performance. Some embodiments may include a split cascode amplifier and/or a power amplifier.
