Get rid of the Cascodes!!!
The only thing a cascode gets you is a more ideal current source at the expense of design area and a loss of voltage headroom.
For a LVDS data signal -- When you look at the current variance with/without cascodes, you will see that you really dont need them.
Been there, done that, at 0.8u and now all the way down to 32nm...
