DESCRIPTION
The PD57018 is a common source N-Channel, en-
hancement-mode lateral Field-Effect RF power
transistor. It is designed for high gain, broad band
commercial and industrial applications. It operates
at 28V in common source mode at frequencies of
up to 1 GHz. 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, designed to of-
fer high reliability, is the first ST JEDEC approved,
high power SMD package. It has been specially
optimized for RF needs and offers excellent RF
performances and ease of assembly.
