RF POWER transistor, LDMOST plastic family
PowerSO-10RF
(formed lead)
The PD55008 is a common source N-Channel,
enhancement-mode lateral Field-Effect RF power
transistor. It is designed for high gain, broad band
commercial and industrial applications. It
operates at 12 V in common source mode at
frequencies up to 1 GHz.
PD55008 boasts the excellent gain, linearity and
reliability of ST’s latest LDMOS technology
mounted in the first true SMD plastic RF power
package, PowerSO-10RF. PD55008’s superior
linearity performance makes it an ideal solution
for car mobile radio.
The PowerSO-10 plastic package, designed to
offer high r elia bility, is the first ST JEDE C
approved, high power SMD package. It has been
specially optimized for RF needs and offers
excellent RF performances and ease of
assembly.
