LDMOS in PowerSO-10RF/typical RF performances

AN1294

10/20

Doc ID 7604 Rev 3

Note:

LDMOS products in PowerSO-10RF straight leads display a slightly better RF power gain

(up to +1.5 dB) than the same products in PowerSO-10RF formed leads.

This is mainly due to the parasitic reactance induced by the physical shape of the lead.

However, this slight loss in gain is greatly overcome by the SMD capability advantages of

the PowerSO-10RF formed leads version.
