  • Patent number: 8441304
    Abstract: A high-frequency switch circuit according to the present invention includes at least a first switch connected between a common terminal and a first terminal, and a second switch connected between the common terminal and a second terminal. Each of the first and second switches includes a plurality of field-effect transistors connected in series and each having a body, a source, a drain, and a gate. A compensation capacitance that compensates a parasitic capacitance generated when the first switch is in an off-state is formed between the drain and the body or between the source and the body in the FET of the first switch. A compensation capacitance that compensates a parasitic capacitance generated when the second switch is in an off-state is formed between the drain and the body or between the source and the body in the FET of the second switch.

  • Publication number: 20100207679
    Abstract: An object is to provide a conduction switching circuit, an operation method of a conduction switching circuit, and a conduction switching circuit block, which can prevent a leakage of a high frequency signal without insertion loss of a reactance. A conduction switching circuit includes a first MOSFET, a second MOSFET connected to the first MOSFET via a first node, and a first control terminal connected to the first node. The first MOSFET and the second MOSFET are provided so as to be electrically connected in series at ON state. The first control terminal is configured to apply a voltage to the first node so that capacitance of the first MOSFET and the second MOSFET is decreased when the first MOSFET and the second MOSFET are OFF state.

  • Publication number: 20080030255
    Abstract: A switch circuit comprising a plural of switch elements and a control circuit operative to simultaneously shut off all of the switch elements. When forming a switch device by the combination of plural switch circuits, no other additional switches connected in series in the subsequent stage is required for shutting off unintentional signals from other input terminals.
