Product details
Overview
PD85035TR-E from STMicroelectronics is a N-channel enhancement-mode lateral MOSFET RF power transistor in common-source configuration, delivering 35 W output power with 14.9 dB gain at 870 MHz and 13.6 V supply, featuring ESD protection and optimized for car mobile radio amplification.
For engineers reviewing the PD85035TR-E datasheet, PD85035TR-E pinout, PD85035TR-E application, or PD85035TR-E equivalent, this device requires attention to thermal resistance (1.0 °C/W), drain-source voltage rating (40 V), gate-source voltage range (–0.5 to +15 V), P3dB performance (35–40 W), and PowerSO-10RF package mounting constraints.
Technical Context
This LDMOS transistor operates in common-source mode up to 1 GHz with fixed 13.6 V bias, supporting broadband commercial and industrial RF amplification. Its static characteristics include VGS(Q) = 3.4–4.6 V at ID = 250 mA and low on-resistance (VDS(ON) = 0.64–0.7 V at ID = 3 A).
Dynamic performance is defined at 870 MHz: P3dB = 35–40 W, power gain = 15–17 dB, drain efficiency = 60–72%, and load mismatch tolerance up to 20:1 VSWR. Impedance data shows ZIN = 0.57 + j0.73 Ω and ZDL = 1.73 – j0.15 Ω at 870 MHz.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
PD85035TR-E uses the PowerSO-10RF (formed lead) plastic SMD package - ST's first JEDEC-approved high-power RF SMD package, optimized for thermal dissipation and RF performance with gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate | Control electrode | Receives bias voltage (VGS) to modulate channel conduction; requires stable, low-noise DC supply and RF decoupling |
| Source | Reference node | Common return path for gate and drain currents; must be low-inductance RF ground for stability |
| Drain | RF output terminal | Delivers amplified RF power; connects to output matching network and heat-spreading copper pour |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Thermal stability | 165 °C max junction temperature with 1.0 °C/W RthJC - supports continuous high-power operation without thermal runaway |
| Linearity performance | 60–72% drain efficiency at P3dB - reduces distortion in FM/AM car radio transmission paths |
| ESD robustness | HBM Class 2 (≥2 kV), MM Class M3 - eliminates need for external transient suppressors in PCB layout |
| Package reliability | PowerSO-10RF formed-lead JEDEC-compliant SMD - enables automated reflow assembly while maintaining RF integrity |
| Impedance match readiness | ZIN = 0.57 + j0.73 Ω at 870 MHz - simplifies input matching network design with fewer components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRF6P21190HR5 | Higher P3dB (190 W), GaN-on-SiC, 28 V operation, RthJC = 0.45 °C/W | Requires redesigned bias network, heatsink, and matching circuits; suited for higher-power base stations | Select when >100 W output and >2 GHz bandwidth needed; not drop-in compatible |
| PD57018-E | LDMOS, 18 W P3dB, same PowerSO-10RF package, 13.6 V, RthJC = 1.2 °C/W | Lower power, identical footprint and pinout - direct replacement where 35 W is excessive | Choose for cost-sensitive or thermally constrained designs needing <20 W output |
Compared with MRF6P21190HR5 and PD57018-E, PD85035TR-E provides optimal balance of 35 W output, 1.0 °C/W thermal resistance, and drop-in compatibility with existing PowerSO-10RF layouts - making it ideal for mid-power mobile radio upgrades without board redesign.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate bias voltage for linear operation?
The datasheet specifies VGS(Q) = 3.4–4.6 V at ID = 250 mA for quiescent biasing. For linear Class AB operation at IDQ = 350 mA, typical gate voltage is 4.2 V with 13.6 V drain supply. This setting balances gain, efficiency, and IMD3 performance per Figure 9 and Table 4.
Can PD85035TR-E operate at frequencies above 870 MHz?
Yes - the device is rated for operation up to 1 GHz in common-source mode. Performance degrades gradually beyond 870 MHz: gain drops to ~12 dB and P3dB falls to ~25 W at 950 MHz per Figure 10. Matching networks must be retuned for optimal results above 870 MHz.
Is the PowerSO-10RF package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - PD85035TR-E carries ECOPACK® compliance per ST's environmental program. It meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free. The "E" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant packaging per ST's ordering nomenclature.
How does the 20:1 VSWR tolerance impact system design?
This rating means the transistor survives indefinite operation into extreme load mismatches (e.g., open or short circuit) at 50 W output without damage. It eliminates need for external circulators or VSWR protection circuits in mobile radio front-ends, simplifying antenna interface design and improving field reliability.
