Product details
Overview
PD84010S-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 (HBM Class 2, MM Class M3), and operates with excellent thermal stability in the PowerSO-10RF plastic package.
For engineers reviewing the PD84010S-E datasheet, PD84010S-E pinout, PD84010S-E application, or PD84010S-E equivalent, this device is selected for portable radio transmitters, base station driver stages, and broadband amplifier designs requiring high linearity, stable gain, and SMD-compatible high-power RF packaging.
Technical Context
This LDMOS transistor uses lateral structure for improved thermal distribution and gain flatness across 870 MHz–1 GHz. Its common-source configuration supports single-ended push-pull or driver-stage topologies with DC bias at IDQ = 300 mA and VDD = 7.5 V.
Designed for RF power amplification, it exhibits low input/output impedance (ZIN = 0.35 + j1.1 Ω, ZDL = 1.53 – j0.23 Ω at 870 MHz), high efficiency (60–73% at P3dB), and robust load mismatch tolerance (20:1 VSWR survivability).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power (P3dB) | 10–12 W at 870 MHz: enables Class AB linear amplification for 10 W RF output stage without compression. |
| Small-Signal Gain | 15–16.3 dB at 870 MHz: provides sufficient voltage gain for driver-level amplification before final PA stage. |
| Drain-Source Voltage (V(BR)DSS) | 40 V: supports operation up to 13.6 V supply with margin for transient spikes in RF switching environments. |
| Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance | 1.0 °C/W: enables 95 W power dissipation at TCASE = 70 °C - critical for compact heatsink integration. |
| Input Capacitance (CISS) | 77 pF at VDS = 7 V: defines matching network complexity and gate drive requirements at UHF frequencies. |
| ESD Rating | HBM Class 2 (≥2 kV), MM Class M3: ensures handling robustness during SMT assembly and board-level testing. |
| Operating Frequency Range | DC to 1 GHz: validated performance up to 870 MHz with usable gain extension into low-UHF band. |
Pinout & Package
The PD84010S-E is housed in the PowerSO-10RF plastic package - ST's JEDEC-approved, high-power SMD RF package with gull-wing formed leads. It features integrated thermal pad on underside for direct PCB copper thermal coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control electrode | High-impedance input requiring DC blocking and gate bias network; sensitive to ESD per HBM Class 2 spec. |
| Source (S) | Common reference node | Connected to RF ground plane; serves as return path for drain current and thermal conduction path via exposed pad. |
| Drain (D) | Power output terminal | High-current RF output node; requires low-inductance layout and external matching network for 50 Ω system interface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Plastic SMD RF package | PowerSO-10RF enables automated assembly, eliminates lead-frame thermal bottlenecks, and supports >90 W thermal dissipation with proper PCB copper area. |
| Linearity performance | 73% drain efficiency at P3dB and low intermodulation distortion make it suitable for narrowband FM/PM portable radio transmitters. |
| Thermal stability | Positive temperature coefficient of gain and low RthJC (1.0 °C/W) minimize thermal runaway risk in continuous-wave operation. |
| Load mismatch tolerance | Survives 20:1 VSWR at all phase angles under 20 W output - critical for antenna-coupled systems without circulators. |
Applications
| Portable Radio Transmitter | UHF Base Station Driver |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRF158G | Higher V(BR)DSS (65 V), lower gain (12.5 dB @ 870 MHz), TO-220FP package | Requires through-hole mounting and larger heatsink; better suited for 28 V base station applications | Select when higher supply voltage headroom or legacy through-hole assembly is required. |
| PD57018-E | Newer ST LDMOS, 18 W P3dB, 16.5 dB gain @ 870 MHz, same PowerSO-10RF package | Higher output capability but increased bias current (IDQ = 500 mA); needs revised thermal layout | Select when system requires >10 W output with minimal footprint change and compatible PCB land pattern. |
Compared with MRF158G and PD57018-E, PD84010S-E offers optimal balance of 10 W output, 14.3 dB gain, and SMD manufacturability - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained portable radio designs where 7.5 V operation and thermal efficiency are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate bias voltage for linear operation at 870 MHz?
The datasheet specifies VGS(Q) = 3.4–4.6 V at ID = 250 mA and VDS = 10 V. For linear Class AB operation at IDQ = 300 mA and VDD = 7.5 V, a gate bias of 4.2 V ±0.2 V is recommended, implemented via resistive divider with bypass capacitor to suppress RF feedback.
Can PD84010S-E be used in push-pull configuration?
Yes - its common-source architecture and matched gain/phase characteristics support push-pull implementation. The PowerSO-10RF package allows symmetrical PCB layout, and thermal resistance uniformity ensures balanced channel loading. Bias networks must be independently tuned per device to maintain amplitude/phase balance.
Is the PowerSO-10RF package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - PD84010S-E is offered in ECOPACK®-compliant PowerSO-10RF packaging, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020B MSL Level 3 moisture sensitivity requirements. Lead finish is matte tin, and solder reflow profile follows IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for full-rated output power?
Full 10 W P3dB output is specified at 870 MHz. Performance remains usable up to 1 GHz, but gain drops to ~12 dB and efficiency falls below 60% above 950 MHz. For reliable 10 W operation, limit use to ≤900 MHz with verified matching network and thermal derating.
