摘要:
The invention is directed to the provision of a two-input, four-output high frequency switch circuit that can prevent the occurrence of in-band ripples of insertion loss in an ON path. The high frequency switch circuit is constructed from six field effect transistors, and a signal is passed through a selected one of signal paths in the two-input, four-output high frequency signal switch having a total of six signal terminals, wherein four additional field effect transistors, each of which, when ON, provides a characteristic impedance matched to the characteristic impedance of an external circuit, are respectively connected between ground and the signal paths leading to the remaining four signal terminals to which the signal is not passed and which therefore become open ends. When the signal is not passed, the respective four field effect transistors are put in operation, thereby eliminating the effects of standing waves occurring on the respective paths leading to the four signal terminals acting as open ends.

A diode logic circuit which can select a high voltage from among the voltages of a number of control voltage input terminals using a number of diodes made of Schottky junctions is integrally formed on a compound semiconductor substrate on which MESFET stages for switching and for securing isolations have been formed. In addition, the MESFET stages for switching are controlled by the voltages of the number of control voltage input terminals and the MESFET stages for securing isolations are controlled by the OR voltage that is outputted from the diode logic circuit.

One end of each of five resistors is connected to each of the two ends and the respective intermediate points of a cascade of four depression-type FETs, while the other ends of the five resistors are provided with a predetermined voltage. This configuration fixes the source-drain potential of the four FETs. This fixing of the source-drain potential of the FETs permits stable application of a bias voltage for turning ON the FETs between the gate and the source each FET, so as to ensure the ON-OFF switching of the FETs.

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 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.
