Product details
Overview
PD85035STR-E from STMicroelectronics is a common-source N-channel enhancement-mode lateral MOSFET RF power transistor in the LDMOST plastic family, delivering 35 W output power with 14.9 dB gain at 870 MHz and 13.6 V supply, featuring ESD protection, thermal stability up to 165 °C junction temperature, and optimized linearity for car mobile radio amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the PD85035STR-E datasheet, PD85035STR-E pinout, PD85035STR-E application, or PD85035STR-E equivalent, this device requires attention to gate drive voltage range (–0.5 to +15 V), drain-source breakdown (40 V), thermal resistance (1.0 °C/W), impedance matching at 870 MHz (ZIN = 0.57 + j0.73 Ω), and PowerSO-10RF straight-lead package assembly requirements.
Technical Context
This RF power transistor operates in common-source configuration with static threshold voltage of 3.4–4.6 V and dynamic P3dB output of 35–40 W at 870 MHz. Its lateral LDMOS structure enables high gain (15–17 dB) and efficiency (60–72%) under 350 mA quiescent drain current.
The device uses PowerSO-10RF straight-lead packaging with JEDEC-approved mechanical dimensions, including critical stand-off (A1 = 1.62–1.72 mm), overall width (L = 0.8–1.1 mm), and thermal path optimized for RF PCB mounting per AN1294 guidelines.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRF372 | Higher POUT (50 W @ 900 MHz), but higher VGS(th) (4.0–5.5 V) and no integrated ESD protection | Requires external gate protection and larger heatsink; suited for fixed-site base stations over mobile units | Select when higher output power justifies added protection circuitry and thermal overhead |
| PD57003 | Lower POUT (25 W @ 870 MHz), lower RthJC (0.8 °C/W), same PowerSO-10RF footprint | Better thermal margin at reduced output; ideal for space-constrained portable designs with derated power | Select when thermal budget is tighter than RF output requirement and board area is constrained |
Compared with MRF372 and PD57003, PD85035STR-E uniquely balances 35 W output, 14.9 dB gain, built-in ESD protection, and PowerSO-10RF straight-lead compatibility-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained car mobile radio designs requiring rapid time-to-market.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating drain-source voltage for PD85035STR-E?
The absolute maximum drain-source voltage (V(BR)DSS) is 40 V at TCASE = 25 °C. Operation above 13.6 V supply must account for transient spikes; design margins should maintain VDS ≤ 32 V during RF envelope peaks to ensure long-term reliability and avoid avalanche stress.
Does PD85035STR-E require external ESD protection on the gate terminal?
No. PD85035STR-E integrates on-chip ESD protection rated to HBM Class 2 (2 kV), verified per JEDEC JS-001. External gate protection diodes are unnecessary in production designs complying with standard PCB layout practices and handling protocols outlined in ST Application Note AN1294.
How does the PowerSO-10RF straight-lead package differ from the formed-lead variant?
The straight-lead version (used in PD85035STR-E) has longer, unbent leads (E = 15.15–15.65 mm vs. 13.85–14.35 mm) and higher stand-off (A1 = 1.62–1.72 mm vs. 0–0.1 mm), enabling compatibility with standard reflow profiles and eliminating gull-wing solder joint inspection challenges in high-volume SMT lines.
Can PD85035STR-E be used at frequencies beyond 870 MHz?
Yes-its specified operation extends up to 1 GHz. At 900 MHz, typical POUT drops to ~30 W and gain to ~13.5 dB per ST characterization data. Impedance matching networks must be retuned using ZIN/ZDL values from Table 8; thermal derating applies above 870 MHz due to increased RF loss.
