A means to lower the input capacitance of an amplifier by having a grounded cathode (emitter, source) amplifier directly drive a grounded grid (base, gate) amplifer. Such a configuration of field-effect transistors or FETs is sometimes called a superfet. The principle action of this combination is to eliminate the Miller effect, which reduces the gain of a grounded cathode amplifier, particularly when a large plate resistance is used. An improperly biased or miswired cascode is called a cascrode.

I thought the cascode configuration would reduce the input capacitance and raise the gain, but it looks like I got a cascrode.

a hot man who raps and is a white kid who could be black. Or someone who drinks on school trips.

the cascine

The largest temp agency in Florence (Italy). Also a park. They only offer one job, depending on your gender: a prostitute or a drug dealer.

10 years ago, I went to the cascine broke and homeless. Now I've got my own whorehouse and bring in $50,000 a year.

Cassone Roll

A roll of transfats that forms around the belly in the shape of a life preserver. This is commonly referred to as a muffin top. The client normally wears shirts a few sizes too small to display the dimensions of the roll. The roll is also decorated with many stretch marks and craters.

"Look at the stretch marks on my Cassone Roll."
