Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, an antenna tuning IC includes a power level detection circuit, a signal level determination circuit, and a consumption current control circuit. The power level detection circuit detects a power level of an antenna line through which a high-frequency signal received by an antenna is transmitted. The signal level determination circuit determines a signal level detected by the power level detection circuit. The consumption current control circuit generates a switch gate control signal for controlling an ON/OFF operation of an RF switch circuitry, and reduces a first consumption current generated when the power level is a low input voltage more than a second consumption current generated when the power level is a high input voltage based on a determination result of the signal level determination circuit.
