PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an operational amplifier layout technology for reducing package stress. SOLUTION: The method for reducing the package stress includes a step, where matched components(A, B) of the operational amplifier are substantially located in a region having minimum stress gradient of die. The region is positioned at the center(C) of the die. The center is also the common center of gravity. The matched components are a current mirror input step. In an embodiment, the semiconductor composition includes the die, having the region of the minimum stress gradient and the operational amplifier which contains the matched components substantially located in the region.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce power consumption more at a low output time in a power amplifying circuit having a high output time and the low output time. SOLUTION: In addition to a bias current generation circuit 60 which supplies a bias current Ibias, an additional bias current generation circuit 110 which supplies an additional bias current Iad is provided to a base of an amplifying portion transistor Q. Although the additional bias current generation circuit 110 supplies the additional bias current Iad to the base of the amplifying portion transistor Q when a power amplifying circuit 100 is in a high output time, it does not supply the additional bias current Iad when the power amplifying circuit 100 is in a low output time. Thus, a bias point at the low output time becomes lower than the high output time, and power consumption of the power amplifying circuit 100 is more reduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power amplifier module including a bias current control circuit for a mobile communication terminal, which hardly increase the chip size and power consumption. SOLUTION: The power amplifier for the mobile communication terminal includes a transistor Q1 for amplification, a bias circuit 101 and a bias current control circuit 103, the transistor Q1 for amplification generates an output signal of the mobile communication terminal, and the bias circuit 101 includes transistors Q2 and Q3 for bias and outputs a bias current for biasing the transistor Q1 for amplification. In accordance with a control signal, the bias current control circuit 103 adjusts a bias current to control an operating current of the transistor for amplification, and the control signal is determined by a power level of the output signal of the mobile communication terminal. When the output power level is low, the bias current control circuit 103 decreases the bias current and the operating current of the transistor for amplification so that the power addition efficiency is improved as a result.
