RF Power LDMOS Transistors
High Ruggedness N--Channel
Enhancement--Mode Lateral MOSFETs
These high ruggedness devices are designed for use in high VSWR
industrial (including laser and plasma exciters), broadcast (analog and digital),
aerospace and radio/land mobile applications. They are unmatched input and
output designs allowing wide frequency range utilization, between 1.8 and
600 MHz.
