Abstract
A switch circuit includes: a first FET that is connected to one of an input terminal and an output terminal, and performs ON/OFF operation under the control of a gate electrode connected to a control terminal; and a second FET that is connected between the first FET and the other one of the input terminal and the output terminal, and performs ON/OFF operation under the control of a gate electrode connected to the control terminal. The first FET has a higher gate backward breakdown voltage than that of the second FET. Alternatively, the first FET has lower OFF capacitance than that of the second FET.
