Abstract
A high-resistance element is connected as a part of a control resistor between a control terminal pad and a protecting element, immediately near the control terminal pad. Thus, even if a high-frequency analog signal leaks to the control resistor, the leaked signal is attenuated by the high-resistance element. This substantially eliminates the possibility of the high-frequency analog signal transmitting to the control terminal pad. Accordingly, an increase in insertion loss can be suppressed.
