Patent number: 11025205Abstract: When a potential difference V1 between a source terminal of an E-type FET (11) and a source terminal of a D-type FET (12) is larger than a threshold voltage Vth, a protection circuit (13) starts an operation to reduce the potential difference V1 such that the potential difference V1 is smaller than the threshold voltage Vth. This makes it possible to prevent destruction of the E-type FET (11) even when a signal to be amplified is an RF signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2017Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Eigo Kuwata, Yutaro Yamaguchi
