GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ALD110800A/ALD110800/ALD110900A/ALD110900 are high precision
monolithic quad/dual N-Channel MOSFETs matched at the factory using
ALD’s proven EPAD CMOS technology. These devices are members of
the EPAD
®
Matched Pair MOSFET Family.
Intended for low voltage small signal applications, the ALD110800/
ALD110900 features Zero-Threshold
™
voltage, which reduces or elimi-
nates input to output voltage level shift, including circuits where the signal
is referenced to GND or V+. This feature greatly reduces output signal
voltage level shift and enhances signal operating range, especially for
very low operating voltage environments. With these zero threshold de-
vices, an analog circuit with multiple stages can be constructed to oper-
ate at extremely low supply or bias voltage levels. For example, an input
amplifier stage operating at 0.2V supply voltage has been demonstrated.
ALD110800A/ALD110800/ALD110900A/ALD110900 matched pair
MOSFETs are designed for exceptional device electrical characteristics
matching with the threshold voltage set precisely at +0.00V +0.01V, fea-
turing a typical offset voltage of only +0.001V (1mV). As these devices
are on the same monolithic chip, they also exhibit excellent tempco track-
ing characteristics. They are versatile as design components for a broad
range of analog applications such as basic building blocks for current
sources, differential amplifier input stages, transmission gates, and multi-
plexer applications.
Besides matched pair electrical characteristics, each individual MOSFET
also exhibits well controlled parameters, enabling the user to depend on
tight design limits. Even units from different batches and different date
of manufacture have correspondingly well matched characteristics.
These devices are built for minimum offset voltage and differential ther-
mal response, and they are designed for switching and amplifying appli-
cations in +0.2V to +10V systems where low input bias current, low input
capacitance, and fast switching speed are desired. The V
GS(th)
of these
devices is set at +0.00V, which classifies them as both enhancement mode
and depletion mode devices. When the gate is set at 0.00V, the drain
current is +1µA @ V
DS
= 0.1V, which allows a class of circuits with output
voltage level biased at or near input voltage level without voltage level
shift. These devices exhibit well controlled turn-off and sub-threshold
characteristics of standard enhancement mode MOSFETs.
The ALD110800A/ALD110800/ALD110900A/ALD110900 are MOSFET
devices that feature high input impedance (10
12
Ω)
and high DC current
gain (>10
8
). A sample calculation of the DC current gain at a drain current
of 3mA and input leakage current of 30pA at 25°C is 3mA/30pA =
100,000,000. For most applications, connect the V+ pin to the most posi-
tive voltage and the V- and IC pins to the most negative voltage in the
system. All other pins must have voltages within these voltage limits at all
times.
