An amplifier circuit amplifies a radio-frequency signal. The amplifier circuit includes an amplifier, an input matching circuit connected to an input side of the amplifier and matches impedance, and a protection circuit connected to a node in a path within a path between an input matching circuit and the amplifier. The protection circuit includes a first diode connected between the node and a ground, and a second diode connected in parallel with the first diode and connected in a direction opposite to the first diode between the node and the ground. A threshold voltage of each of the first diode and the second diode is greater than a maximum voltage amplitude of the input signal at the node and is less than a difference between a withstand voltage of the amplifier and the bias voltage.

A radio-frequency amplifier circuit includes first and second FETs cascode-connected to each other. The gate of the first FET is connected to a radio-frequency input terminal, and the drain of the second FET is connected to a radio-frequency output terminal.

A drive voltage is applied to the drain of the second FET. A bias setting unit is connected to the gate of the second FET. The bias setting unit sets a second control voltage to be applied to the second FET so that a node voltage between the drain of the first FET and the source of the second FET will be substantially half of the drive voltage.
