RF Power LDMOS Transistors
N--Channel Enhancement--Mode Lateral MOSFETs
These high power transistors are designed for use in UHF TV broadcast
applications. The devices have an integrated input matching network for better
power distribution and are ideal for use in both analog and digital TV
transmitters.
