RF Power LDMOS Transistor
High Ruggedness N--Channel
Enhancement--Mode Lateral MOSFET
AFM907N
Designed for handheld two--way radio applications with frequencies from
136 to 941 MHz. The high gain, ruggedness and wideband performance of this
device make it ideal for large--signal, common--source amplifier applications in
handheld radio equipment.
