Abstract
A power amplifier device includes: a first power supply terminal for inputting a first power supply voltage; a first transistor for power amplification that (i) includes a first gate to which a bias voltage is applied, and (ii) is supplied with power from the first power supply terminal; a second power supply terminal for inputting a second power supply voltage lower than the first power supply voltage; a second transistor for monitoring that (i) includes a second gate to which the bias voltage is applied, (ii) is supplied with power from the first power supply terminal or the second power supply terminal, and (iii) imitates an operation of the first transistor; and a bias circuit that is supplied with power from the second power supply terminal and generates and adjusts the bias voltage according to a drain current or a source current of the second transistor.
