INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, FRONT-END MODULE, AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18233459 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, FRONT-END MODULE, AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an integrated circuit (IC) that includes switches and an amplifier connected in a specific order to create an RF signal path.

  • IC includes a first switch, a second switch, and an amplifier connected between them.
  • The RF signal path passes through the first switch, the amplifier, and the second switch in that order.
  • The IC has an input terminal and an output terminal that can be connected outside of the IC with a component in between.
  • In the top view of the IC, the first switch, the amplifier, and the second switch are arranged in a straight line.
  • The arrangement ensures that any point on the first switch, any point on the amplifier, and any point on the second switch can be connected in order.


Original Abstract Submitted

An integrated circuit (IC) includes a first switch, a second switch, and an amplifier electrically connected between the first switch and the second switch. An RF signal path passes through first switch, the amplifier, and the second switch in this order. The IC includes an input terminal and an output terminal that are to be connected to each other between the first switch and the amplifier or between the amplifier and the second switch outside of the IC with a component connected therebetween. In a top view of the IC, a first region of the first switch, a second region of the amplifier, and a third region of the second switch are disposed on a straight line such that a virtual straight line connects any point of the first region, any point of the second region, and any point of the second region in this order.
