Description

The PD55003-E 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 of up to 1 GHz. The PD55003 boasts

excellent gain, linearity and reliability thanks to

ST’s latest LDMOS technology mounted in the

first true SMD plastic RF power package, the

PowerSO-10RF.

The PD55003’s superior linearity performance

makes it an ideal solution for car mobile radios.

The PowerSO-10RF plastic package is designed

for high reliability, and is the first JEDECapproved,

high power SMD package from ST. It

has been optimized for RF requirements and

offers excellent RF performance and ease of

assembly.
