Description  
Figure 1: Pin connection  
The SD2942 is a gold metallized N-channel MOS  
field-effect RF power transistor. The SD2942  
offers 25% lower R

DS(ON)

than industry standard  
and 20% higher power saturation than ST  
SD2932. These characteristics make the SD2942  
ideal for 50 V DC very high power applications up  
to 250 MHz.
