The use of a cascode (sometimes verbified to cascoding) is a common technique for improving analog circuit performance, applicable to both vacuum tubes and transistors.The name "cascode" was coined in an article written by Frederick Vinton Hunt and Roger Wayne Hickman in 1939, in a discussion on the application of voltage stabilizers.

In network analysis, the transconductance amplifier is defined as a voltage controlled current source (VCCS). These amplifiers are commonly seen installed in a cascode configuration, which improves the frequency response.

In electronics, a common-source amplifier is one of three basic single-stage field-effect transistor (FET) amplifier topologies, typically used as a voltage or transconductance amplifier.
Cascode Voltage Switch Logic (CVSL) refers to a CMOS-type logic family which is designed for certain advantages. It requires mainly N-channel MOSFET transistors to implement the logic using true and complementary input signals, and also needs two P-channel transistors at the top to pull one of the outputs high.
In this circuit, the base terminal of the transistor serves as the input, the collector is the output, and the emitter is common to both (for example, it may be tied to ground reference or a power supply rail), hence its name. The analogous FET circuit is the common-source amplifier, and the analogous tube circuit is the common-cathode amplifier.
A cascode connection (common emitter stage followed by common base stage) is sometimes found. Audio power amplifiers will typically have a push-pull output as the final stage. A Darlington pair of transistors is another way of obtaining a high current gain. In this connection the emitter of the first transistor feeds the base of the second with ...

The open-circuit time constant (OCT) method is an approximate analysis technique used in electronic circuit design to determine the corner frequency of complex circuits.It is a special case of zero-value time constant (ZVT) method technique when reactive elements consist of only capacitors.
