Selection of a SAB MOSFET device depends on a set of desired voltage vs. current characteristics that closely match the selected nominal bias voltage and
bias currents that provide the best leakage and regulation profile of a supercap load. The Vt table, where Drain-Gate Source Voltage (VGS = VDS) gives
a range of VGS = VDS bias voltages as different Vsupercap load voltages. At each VGS = VDS bias voltage, a corresponding Drain-Source ON Current
(IDS(ON)) is produced by a specific SAB MOSFET, which can be viewed as the amount of current available to compensate for supercap leakage current
imbalances and results in an Equivalent ON Resistance (RDS(ON))across a supercap cell. Selection of a supercap bias voltage with a SAB MOSFET
IDS(ON) that corresponds to the maximum supercap leakage current would result in the best possible tradeoff between leakage current balancing and
voltage regulation.
Notes: 1) The SAB MOSFET Drain Source ON Current (IDS(ON)) is the maximum current available to offset the supercapacitor leakage current.
2) The Drain-Gate Source Voltage (VGS=VDS) is normally the same as the voltage across the supercapacitor.
