    Abstract: A power amplifier circuit includes: a first switch circuit that switches conduction and non-conduction between a node between the drive stage amplifier and the power stage amplifier and an output terminal, and a second switch circuit that switches conduction and non-conduction between the power stage amplifier and the output terminal. The power amplifier circuit has a first mode in which the first switch circuit is made conductive and the second switch circuit is made non-conductive, and a second mode in which the first switch circuit is made non-conductive and the second switch circuit is made conductive. The power amplifier circuit makes, when shifting from the first mode to the second mode, the first switch circuit non-conductive after making the second switch circuit conductive, and makes, when shifting from the second mode to the first mode, the second switch circuit non-conductive after making the first switch circuit conductive.

    Abstract: An amplifier circuit amplifies a radio-frequency signal. The amplifier circuit includes an amplifier, an input matching circuit connected to an input side of the amplifier and matches impedance, and a protection circuit connected to a node in a path within a path between an input matching circuit and the amplifier. The protection circuit includes a first diode connected between the node and a ground, and a second diode connected in parallel with the first diode and connected in a direction opposite to the first diode between the node and the ground. A threshold voltage of each of the first diode and the second diode is greater than a maximum voltage amplitude of the input signal at the node and is less than a difference between a withstand voltage of the amplifier and the bias voltage.
