Abstract

A switching circuit is disclosed in which a first field effect transistor (which will be hereinafter referred to as an FET simply) is provided in such a manner that its source-drain are connected between an input terminal and output terminal and its source and drain electrodes are connected to a bias source through resistors, and a second FET of a source follower type is provided such that its gate electrode is connected to the source electrode of the first FET and its source electrode is connected to the gate electrode of the first FET. In this case, by changing the source electrode voltage level of the second FET, the first FET is made on and off to perform a switching operation.
