    摘要: An amplification circuit includes: a power supply terminal that is connected to a power supply; a transistor that has a source terminal, a drain terminal, and a gate terminal to which a high-frequency signal is input; a transistor that has a source terminal that is connected to the drain terminal, a drain terminal that outputs a high-frequency signal, and a gate terminal that is grounded; a capacitor that is serially disposed on a second path that connects the gate terminal and the power supply terminal to each other; and a switch that is serially disposed on a first path or the second path. The drain terminal and the gate terminal are connected to each other via the switch and the capacitor.

    摘要: Methods and circuital arrangements for turning OFF branches of a multi-branch cascode amplifier are presented. First and second switching arrangements coupled to a branch allow turning OFF the branch while protecting transistors of the branch from a supply voltage that may be greater than a tolerable voltage of the transistors. The first switching arrangement includes a transistor-based switch that is in series connection with the transistors of the branch. The first switching arrangement drops the supply voltage during the OFF state of the branch and provides a conduction path for a current through the branch during the ON state of the branch. A resistor and a shunting switch are coupled to a gate of the transistor-based switch to reduce parasitic coupling effects of the transistor-based switch upon an RF signal coupled to the branch during the ON state and OFF state of the branch.
