摘要:
A semiconductor apparatus is provided which makes it possible to reduce the number of control terminals required for switching through paths of a high frequency signal, simplify the circuit configuration for controlling the terminals, improve an isolation characteristic between on path and off path of a through FET, and obtain a sufficiently high isolation. In this semiconductor apparatus, one specific through FET and each of shunt FETs connected to each of through FETs other than the one specific through FET are simultaneously turned on in response to the same control signal inputted to the same control terminal. Thus, when a high frequency signal leaks from an output terminal to the signal path of the through FET having been turned on, through the signal paths of the through FETs having been turned off, the high frequency signal can be released to GND through the shunt FET having been turned on.

The present invention provides a frequency conversion circuit capable of reducing current without impairing high frequency characteristics. A local oscillator amplifier is formed of a first field effect transistor. A source thereof is grounded by a first capacitor in terms of high frequency, and a gate thereof is connected to one end of each of first and second resistors. The other end of the first resistor is grounded, and the other end of the second resistor is connected to a voltage supply terminal. An intermediate frequency amplifier is formed of a second field effect transistor. A source thereof is grounded through a third resistor and a second capacitor that are connected in parallel with each other. A drain thereof is connected to an intermediate frequency signal output terminal through a third capacitor and an intermediate frequency output matching circuit. The source of the first field effect transistor and the drain of the second field effect transistor are connected through an AC blocking circuit.

The present invention includes a die pad; signal leads, ground connection leads connected to the die pad; a semiconductor chip including electrode pads for grounding; metal thin wires, and an encapsulating resin for encapsulating the die pad and the semiconductor chip and encapsulating the signal leads and the ground connection lead such that lower portions of the signal leads and the ground connection lead are exposed as external terminals. The ground connection lead is connected to the electrode pad for grounding, so that the resin-encapsulated semiconductor device is electrically stabilized. Furthermore, interference between high frequency signals passing through the signal leads can be suppressed by the die pad and the ground connection leads.

A transistor integrated circuit apparatus generating less noise, having superb RF characteristics, and preventing thermal runaway of transistors is provided. Owing to capacitors C11 through C1n having one end commonly connected to an RF signal input terminal RFin and the other end connected to a base electrode of a corresponding transistor, and inductors L11 through L1n having one end commonly connected to a DC power supply input terminal DCin and the other end connected to a base electrode of a corresponding transistor, RF noise generated in a DC power supply circuit is reduced. This can reduce the RF noise output from the transistors Tr11 through Tr1n. The inductors L11 through L1n prevent an RF signal input from the RF input terminal RFin from flowing toward the DC power supply circuit. This can prevent the RF signal from being lost by the flow thereof toward the DC power supply circuit.

The first terminals of a plurality of resistor elements are connected to the intermediate connection points of a plurality of FETs connected in series, and a voltage, having a phase opposite to that of the voltage applied to the gate terminals of the plurality of FETs, is applied to the second terminals of the plurality of resistor elements. With this configuration, the potentials at the intermediate connection points of the plurality of FETs connected in series can be prevented from lowering. As a result, the power that can be handled can be increased. Furthermore, since the potentials at the intermediate connection points of the plurality of FETs connected in series can be prevented from lowering, the deterioration of the distortion characteristic and the isolation characteristic owing to the lowering of the potentials at the intermediate connection points of the plurality of field-effect transistors connected in series is prevented, and excellent high-frequency characteristics are obtained.
