  • Publication number: 20020082045
    Abstract: In a mobile telephone apparatus corresponding to dual-band provided with an RF power module to operate in two kinds of different frequencies, a common harmonics control circuit is provided to the output circuit of such RF power module to realize higher efficiency in view of controlling respective harmonics power for both band frequencies. Moreover, a means for selectively setting the bias is also provided so that the maximum efficiency can be attained depending on the output power required with respective communication systems with the bias control signal output from the CPU of the control unit interlocking with selection of frequency of the mobile telephone apparatus body. In addition, a switching element is also provided to such harmonics control circuit to enable the harmonics control without giving any influence on the radio frequency signal of each communication system.

  • Publication number: 20020033508
    Abstract: A power MOSFET for a high frequency amplification element having good output power characteristics and high frequency characteristics is described. In the power MOSFET, a shield conductive film electrically connected to via an insulating film is arranged over a drain-offset semiconductor region. A wiring for a drain electrode is so arranged as to extent in parallel to the shield conductive film at one end side of the shield conductive film. On the other hand, a wiring for the gate electrode, a wiring for a source electrode and a gate shunt wiring are arranged in this order to extend in parallel to each other at the other end side of the shield conductive film. The shield conductive film is so formed that the thickness thereof is smaller than that of the wiring for the gate electrode. In this way, the input and output capacitances of the MOSFET can be decreased.

  • Patent number: 5638246
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device including a power MOSFET (M.sub.0) for the output stage, a temperature detection circuit produces an output signal upon detecting an abnormal rise in the chip temperature, the signal turns on a set input element (M.sub.1) in a latch circuit so that the latch circuit becomes a set state, the set output of the latch circuit turns on a control element (M.sub.5), causing the power MOSFET to become non-conductive so that it is protected from destruction. The latch circuit is not brought to a reset state even if the external gate terminal of the device is brought to zero volt. With a voltage outside the range of the normal input signal, e.g., a large negative voltage, being applied to the external gate terminal, the gate capacitance of the control element (M.sub.5) discharges, and consequently the latch circuit is brought to the reset state and the protective operation is cancelled.
