Product details
Overview
PD57006S-E from STMicroelectronics is a 6 W, N-channel enhancement-mode lateral MOSFET RF power transistor in PowerSO-10RF straight-lead package, operating at 28 V with 15 dB gain at 945 MHz in common-source configuration. It delivers 45–50% drain efficiency and supports 10:1 load mismatch tolerance, targeting mobile radio RF final-stage amplification.
For engineers reviewing the PD57006S-E datasheet, PD57006S-E pinout, PD57006S-E application, or PD57006S-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its 65 V V(BR)DSS rating, 5 °C/W RthJC thermal resistance, 6 W POUT capability at 945 MHz, and compatibility with 28 V DC supply and broadband 925–960 MHz operation.
Technical Context
This LDMOS device operates in common-source mode with fixed 70 mA quiescent drain current (IDQ), optimized for Class AB linear amplification up to 1 GHz. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(Q)) ranges 2.0–5.0 V, and transconductance (gFS) is 0.58 mho at VDS = 10 V, ID = 800 mA.
Impedance data confirms matched input (ZIN ≈ 4.04 – j2.30 Ω at 945 MHz) and output (ZDL ≈ 3.86 + j10.58 Ω at 945 MHz) networks for 50 Ω systems. S-parameters at VDS = 28 V, IDS = 0.2 A show |S21| = 1.69 @ 950 MHz (≈ 4.6 dB gain) and |S11| = 0.892 @ 950 MHz (−70° phase), supporting stable broadband matching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 65 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; enables safe operation under 28 V supply with transient margin. |
| POUT @ 945 MHz | 6 W - RF output power at 945 MHz with 28 V supply and 70 mA bias; sufficient for UHF mobile radio final stage. |
| Gain @ 945 MHz | 14–15 dB - Small-signal power gain; determines driver stage sizing and system noise figure contribution. |
| Drain Efficiency | 45–50% - Ratio of RF output power to DC input power; reduces thermal load and improves battery life in portable radios. |
| RthJC | 5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; mandates direct heatsinking to maintain TJ ≤ 165 °C at full 20 W dissipation. |
| Load Mismatch Tolerance | 10:1 VSWR - Withstands extreme antenna impedance variations without damage or gain collapse; critical for mobile antenna environments. |
| CISS / COSS / CRSS | 27 pF / 14 pF / 0.9 pF - Input/output/reverse transfer capacitances at 28 V; define matching network complexity and stability margins. |
Pinout & Package
PD57006S-E uses the PowerSO-10RF straight-lead plastic package - JEDEC-approved, surface-mountable, and optimized for RF thermal and electrical performance. Dimensions: 9.5 mm × 15.4 mm × 3.5 mm (L × E × A2), with 10 terminals formed as straight leads for through-hole or press-fit assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Source | Common low-impedance return path; electrically and thermally tied to exposed die paddle (pin 9/10); requires PCB copper pour for heat dissipation. |
| 9 | Drain | Main high-power RF output node; connected directly to RF output matching network and heatsink via metalized pad. |
| 10 | Gate | High-impedance RF input node; requires controlled-impedance trace and DC blocking; sensitive to ESD and layout parasitics. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PowerSO-10RF straight-lead package | First ST JEDEC-approved high-power SMD RF package; enables automated assembly while maintaining 20 W thermal capability and low-inductance source connection. |
| Excellent thermal stability | 165 °C max junction temperature and 5 °C/W RthJC allow sustained 6 W RF output without derating below +70 °C case temperature. |
| Superior linearity | Measured intermodulation distortion < −30 dBc under two-tone test at 945 MHz; meets spectral mask requirements for analog FM car radio transmitters. |
| Common-source configuration | Single-ended topology with grounded source simplifies biasing and matching; eliminates need for baluns or differential drivers in cost-sensitive designs. |
| LDMOST plastic family | ST's proprietary lateral DMOS process delivers ruggedness against load mismatch and improved gain flatness across 925–960 MHz band vs. vertical MOSFETs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRF6V2010N | 10 W POUT @ 945 MHz, higher V(BR)DSS = 100 V, TO-270 WB-4 package (larger footprint, higher RthJC = 7.5 °C/W) | Supports higher output power and wider supply range (up to 32 V), but requires larger heatsink and more complex matching. | Select when >6 W output or >28 V supply is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and thermal interface. |
| PD57003S-E | 3 W POUT @ 945 MHz, same PowerSO-10RF straight-lead package, identical pinout and bias conditions (IDQ = 70 mA) | Lower power grade with reduced gain (13 dB) and efficiency (40–45%), suitable for lower-tier radios or driver stages. | Drop-in replacement for reduced power/thermal budget; shares layout, heatsink, and bias network - ideal for scalable platform design. |
Compared with MRF6V2010N, PD57006S-E offers lower thermal resistance and smaller footprint for 6 W systems; compared with PD57003S-E, it doubles output power while retaining identical board space and bias architecture - enabling modular RF power scaling.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PD57006S-E?
The absolute maximum continuous drain current (ID) is 1 A at TCASE = 25 °C, per Table 1. However, typical operating IDQ is 70 mA for linear RF amplification. Sustained 1 A operation exceeds thermal limits unless actively cooled below 25 °C case temperature - not recommended for RF power use.
Can PD57006S-E be used at frequencies above 1 GHz?
No - the datasheet specifies operation "up to 1 GHz" with verified performance only through 960 MHz. At 1000 MHz, |S21| drops to 1.32 (≈ 2.4 dB gain) and efficiency declines sharply; gain flatness and IMD performance are not characterized beyond 960 MHz.
Is the PowerSO-10RF straight-lead package RoHS-compliant?
Yes - PD57006S-E is supplied in an ECOPACK®-compliant PowerSO-10RF package with lead-free second-level interconnect, certified per JEDEC JESD97 and marked accordingly on packaging. The die attach and mold compound meet EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
How does PD57006S-E differ from PD57006-E?
Both share identical die and electrical specs, but PD57006S-E uses straight leads for through-hole or press-fit mounting, whereas PD57006-E uses gull-wing formed leads for surface-mount reflow. Mechanical dimensions differ slightly (E = 15.4 mm vs. 14.1 mm), requiring separate PCB footprints and assembly processes.
