Abstract
A switching circuit according to one embodiment is a switching circuit including at least one semiconductor switch element having an input, output, and a common terminals, a pulse-like signal being applied between the input and common terminals to switch a current between the output and common terminals. The switching circuit further includes a capacitance suppression element section connected at least one of between the input and output terminals, between the input terminal common terminals, and between the output and common terminals. The capacitance suppression element section reduces a parasitic capacitance between the terminals of the semiconductor switch element where the capacitance suppression element section is connected to less than that obtained when the capacitance suppression element section is not connected at a frequency N times (N is an integer of 1 or more) as high as a clock frequency of the pulse-like signal.
