    Abstract: Amplifiers with improved isolation are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus (e.g., a wireless device, an integrated circuit, etc.) includes an amplifier having a gain transistor, first and second cascode transistors, and a shunt transistor. The gain transistor receives an input signal and provides an amplified signal. The first cascode transistor is coupled between the gain transistor and an intermediate node and receives the amplified signal. The second cascode transistor is coupled between the intermediate node and an output node and provides an output signal. The shunt transistor is coupled between the intermediate node and circuit ground. The first and second cascode transistors are enabled to provide the output signal. The shunt transistor is (i) disabled when the cascode transistors are enabled and (ii) enabled to short the intermediate node to circuit ground when the cascode transistors are disabled.

    Abstract: Amplifiers with inductive degeneration and configurable gain and input matching are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus includes a gain transistor, an inductor, and an input matching circuit for an amplifier. The gain transistor has a variable gain determined based on its bias current. The inductor is coupled between the gain transistor and circuit ground. The input matching circuit is selectively coupled to the gain transistor based on the variable gain of the gain transistor. For example, the input matching circuit may be coupled to the gain transistor in a low-gain mode and decoupled from the gain transistor in the high-gain mode. In an exemplary design, the input matching circuit includes a resistor, a capacitor, and a second transistor coupled in series. The resistor is used for input matching of the amplifier. The second transistor couples or decouples the resistor to or from the gain transistor.
