Product details
Overview
PD84010-E from STMicroelectronics is a common-source N-channel enhancement-mode lateral MOSFET RF power transistor designed for broadband commercial and industrial applications up to 1 GHz. It delivers 10 W output power with 14.3 dB gain at 870 MHz under 7.5 V supply, features ESD protection, and uses PowerSO-10RF plastic SMD packaging optimized for RF performance and thermal stability.
For engineers reviewing the PD84010-E datasheet, PD84010-E pinout, PD84010-E application, or PD84010-E equivalent, this device is selected for portable radio transmitters, base station driver stages, and broadband RF amplifiers where high linearity, thermal reliability, and SMD manufacturability are required at 700–960 MHz bands.
Technical Context
The PD84010-E operates in common-source configuration with gate-controlled enhancement-mode conduction, supporting DC–1 GHz operation. Its LDMOS structure enables high gain (15–16.3 dB), high efficiency (60–73% at P3dB), and robust load mismatch tolerance (20:1 VSWR) at 870 MHz.
Thermal design is enabled by low junction-to-case resistance (1.0 °C/W) and maximum junction temperature of 165 °C. The PowerSO-10RF package integrates formed leads for mechanical stability and RF-optimized leadframe geometry to minimize parasitic inductance and improve impedance matching.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRF6P21140HR5 | Higher POUT (140 W), 28 V operation, TO-270WB package - requires different biasing and heatsinking | Targeted at macro base station final PA, not portable or driver-stage use | Select only when >10 W output and 28 V architecture are mandatory; incompatible with 7.5 V designs |
| PD57018-E | Same PowerSO-10RF package, 18 W POUT at 945 MHz, higher VDD (28 V), improved efficiency (75%) | Designed for higher-frequency LTE bands; less suitable below 800 MHz due to gain roll-off | Prefer for 900 MHz+ infrastructure upgrades; verify impedance match at 870 MHz before substitution |
Compared with MRF6P21140HR5 and PD57018-E, PD84010-E offers optimal trade-off of size, 7.5 V compatibility, and 10 W capability for portable and driver-stage roles-where lower voltage, compact footprint, and thermal manageability outweigh raw power scaling.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate bias voltage for PD84010-E in Class AB operation?
The datasheet specifies VGS(Q) = 3.4–4.6 V at ID = 250 mA and VDS = 10 V. For stable Class AB operation at IDQ = 300 mA, a gate bias of 4.2 V is recommended using a resistive divider or active bias circuit to maintain quiescent current across temperature.
Can PD84010-E be used at 28 V supply for higher output power?
No. Absolute maximum VDS is 40 V, but the device is characterized and optimized for 7.5 V operation. At 28 V, gate oxide stress, thermal runaway risk, and gain compression increase significantly. ST does not specify performance above 9.5 V, and doing so voids reliability guarantees.
Is the PowerSO-10RF package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes. PD84010-E is manufactured in ST's ECOPACK®-compliant PowerSO-10RF package, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC requirements. The device carries the "ECOPACK2" designation, indicating halogen-free molding compound and lead-free terminations.
How is thermal management implemented on the PD84010-E PCB layout?
The PowerSO-10RF package features an exposed drain pad that must be soldered to a large copper thermal pad (≥200 mm²) connected to internal ground planes via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter). This achieves the specified 1.0 °C/W RthJC and prevents junction temperature exceedance at full 10 W output.
