RF Power Field - Effect Transistor
N - Channel Enhancement - Mode Lateral MOSFET
Designed for broadband commercial and industrial applications with frequen-
cies from 470 to 860 MHz. The high gain and broadband performance of these
devices make them ideal for large- signal, common source amplifier applications
in 32 volt digital television transmitter equipment.

Freescale has begun the transition of marking Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) with the Freescale Semiconductor
signature/logo. PCBs may have either Motorola or Freescale markings during the transition period. These changes will have
no impact on form, fit or function of the current product.
