    Abstract: N (n is an integer more than one) number of transistors are connected in series in an order from a first transistor to an nth transistor from a first terminal to a second terminal. First to nth nodes are connected to gates of the first to nth transistors. N number of resistance elements are connected in series in an order from a first resistance element to an nth resistance element from a bias terminal to the nth node. The first resistance element is connected between said bias terminal and said first node, and the kth resistance element (k=2 to n) is connected between the (k−1)th node and the kth node. Thus, a high frequency switch circuit can reduce an area of the whole gate bias resistances.

    Abstract: Increases of circuit scale and power consumption are suppressed while frequency deviation is kept within a predetermined allowable range. A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes a variable load capacity circuit including a plurality of load capacity elements coupled in parallel to one end of a crystal resonator and a plurality of switches that are respectively serially coupled to the load capacity elements, and a switch control unit that controls ON/OFF of the switches on the basis of information to be an index of frequency deviation due to temperature change of a frequency signal obtained by oscillating the crystal resonator. The switch control unit changes the number of switches that will be turned ON among the plurality of switches so that an absolute value of the frequency deviation becomes small when the information is not included in a predetermined allowable range.
