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.

Abstract: An amplifier circuit includes: an input terminal; a first FET having a gate; a second FET connected, together with the first FET, between a power supply and a reference potential; an output terminal provided between the second FET and a load to output an amplified signal; a first voltage divider resistor circuit that divides a potential difference between the power supply and the reference potential, and generates a bias to be applied to a gate of the second FET; and a first switch element provided between the first voltage divider resistor circuit and the power supply and for turning on/off an electrical connection between the power supply and the first voltage divider resistor circuit. The first FET and the second FET have their adjacent drains and sources connected. The first switch element turns off when amplification operation by the first FET and the second FET is not performed.
