PD55008-E PD55008S-E RF POWER transistor, LdmoST plastic family N-channel enhancement-mode, lateral MOSFETs Features Excellent thermal stability Common source configuration P = 8 W with 17dB gain 500 MHz/12.5 V OUT New RF plastic package PowerSO-10RF (formed lead) Description The device 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. PowerSO-10RF The device boasts the excellent gain, linearity and (straight lead) reliability of STs latest LDMOS technology mounted in the first true SMD plastic RF power package, PowerSO-10RF. The devices superior linearity performance makes it an ideal solution Figure 1. Pin connection for car mobile radio. Source The PowerSO-10 plastic package, designed to offer high reliability, is the first ST JEDEC approved, high power SMD package. It has been specially optimized for RF needs and offers Drain Gate excellent RF performances and ease of assembly.
