Description

The PD57018 isacommon sourceN-Channel, en-hancement-mode, lateral Field-Effect RF power transistor. It is designed for high gain, broad band commercial and industrial applications. Itoperates at 28V in common source mode at frequencies of up to 1GHz. PD57018 boasts the excellent gain, linearity and reliability of ST's latest LDMOS tech-nology mounted in the first true SMD plastic RF power package, PowerSO-10RF. PD57018's su-perior linearity performance makes it an ideal so-lution for base station applications.

The PowerSO-10 plastic package of PD57018, designed toof-fer high reliability, is the first ST JEDECapproved, high power SMD package. It has been specially optimized for RF needs and offers excellent RF performances and ease ofassembly.
