In the high frequency switch circuit, because a feed through signal introduced by a switch parasitic capacitor can be grounded through a by-pass, the variation of the input end does not affect the output end after the switch is turned off, thereby the hold function of high precision is realized. The switch design of inhibiting the substrate bias effect is utilized. Because the variation of a threshold voltage caused by the inequality of a substrate and a source electric potential is inhibited, the linearity of the equivalent resistance of the switch circuit is better and the signal-to-noise distortion ratio of the circuit is improved.

Voltage generator

When the substrate bias voltage Vbb lowers by the pumping operation of the charge pump circuit, a drain-to-source resistance of the N-transistor becomes high. When a first power supply voltage Vcc is set at high value, a drain-to-source current of the N-transistor increases (I+ΔI1), however the drain-to-source current decreases (I+ΔI1−ΔI2) by the increase of the drain-to-source current owing to the substrate bias effect so that the increase of the potential of the node N34 caused by the increase of the first power supply voltage VCC is restrained. As a result, a reference level of the substrate bias voltage Vbb does not largely lower than the reference level of the substrate bias voltage Vbb when the first power supply voltage VCC is in a standard level.

Level shift circuit

In a level shift circuit according to the invention, either an input signal IN or an inverted input signal XIN, which are input into the gate electrodes of n-type transistors 1, 2 for signal input, is also given to the substrate of that n-type transistor via p-type transistors 5, 6 for substrate bias. When the signal IN or XIN rises and changes, the threshold voltages of the n-type transistors 1, 2 for signal input is lowered due to the substrate bias effect. Consequently, even if the signal IN or XIN has a low voltage level, operation is carried out at high speeds. Also, when either an output signal OUT or an inverted output signal XOUT is changed to a high voltage level, the transistors 5, 6 for substrate bias become non-conducting, and thus the input signal IN or the inverted input signal XIN is not supplied to the substrate of the n-type transistors 1, 2 for signal input other than when the signal is changing. Consequently, a constant passing-through current does not flow to the substrate of these transistors.
