Abstract

A power amplifier circuit includes an amplifier transistor having a first terminal supplied with a power supply voltage that changes in accordance with an amplitude level of an input signal, and a second terminal supplied with the input signal and a bias current, an amplified signal obtained by amplifying the input signal being outputted from the first terminal, a bias circuit that outputs the bias current from an output terminal thereof in accordance with a reference current supplied to an input terminal thereof, and a regulation circuit that generates a regulation current for regulating the bias current in accordance with a change in the power supply voltage. The regulation current increases with an increase in the power supply voltage, and decreases with a decrease in the power supply voltage. The regulation circuit extracts the regulation current from at least one of the reference current or the bias current.
