Abstract: An input buffer circuit 11X is a source follower circuit and comprises a load 114 and enhancement FETs 111 and 112A connected in series between power supply lines VDD and VSS. A DC bias VB1 is applied to the gate of the FET 112A to act it as a current source, and an AC current component of the drain potential VD of the FET 111 is provided through a capacitor 113 to the gate of the FET 112A. If an inductor as an matching circuit is connected in series to the capacitor 113, a band pass filter is constructed, and the gain of the circuit 11X becomes especially high at the resonance frequency thereof. At high frequencies, the interconnection coupled to the capacitor 113 has a parasitic inductance, and the output waveform of the circuit 11X has a high frequency noise. In this case, a damping transistor is connected between the capacitor 113 and the gate of the FET 112A to obtain a flat gain by adjusting the gate potential thereof.
