ALD210808 features precision threshold voltage, which enables circuit designs  
with input/output signals referenced to GND at enhanced operating voltage  
ranges. With
 
these devices, a circuit with multiple cascading stages can be  
built to operate at extremely low supply/bias voltage levels. For example, a  
nanopower input amplifier stage operating at less than 1.0V supply voltage has  
been successfully built with these devices.

Built on a single monolithic chip, they also exhibit excellent temperature track-  
ing characteristics. These precision devices are versatile as design components  
for a broad range of analog small signal applications such as basic building  
blocks for current mirrors, matching circuits, current sources, differential ampli-  
fier input stages, transmission gates, and multiplexers. They also excel in lim-  
ited operating voltage applications, such as very low level voltage-clamps and  
nano-power normally-on circuits.

• Matched peak-detectors and level-shifters  
• Multiple Channel Sample-and-Hold switches

In addition to precision matched-pair electrical characteristics, each individual  
EPAD MOSFET also exhibits well controlled manufacturing characteristics, en-  
abling the user to depend on tight design limits from different production batches.

Generally it is recommended that the V+ pin be connected to the most positive  
voltage and the V- and IC (internally-connected) pins to the most negative volt-  
age in the system. All other pins must have voltages within these voltage limits  
at all times. Standard ESD protection facilities and handling procedures for static  
sensitive devices are highly recommended when using these devices.

voltage. This linear shift in V
 
causes the subthreshold I-V curves  
GS  
to shift linearly as well. Accordingly, the subthreshold operating cur-  
rent can be determined by calculating the gate source voltage drop  
At a voltage below V  
, an EPAD MOSFET exhibits a turn-off  
GS(th)  
characteristic in an operating region called the subthreshold re-  
gion. This is when the EPAD MOSFET conduction channel rapidly  
turns off as a function of decreasing applied gate voltage. The con-  
duction channel, induced by the gate voltage on the gate electrode,  
decreases exponentially and causes the drain current to decrease  
exponentially as well. However, the conduction channel does not  
shut off abruptly with decreasing gate voltage, but rather decreases  
at a fixed rate of about 104mV per decade of drain current de-  
crease. For example, for the ALD2108xx device, if the gate thresh-

= V- = 0.00V, producing a fixed on-resistance without any gate

drain current still hovers around 100nA when the gate is at ground

MATCHING CHARACTERISTICS  
GS(th)  
ALD210804), the drain current is about 2nA when the gate is at  
ground potential. Thus, in this case an input signal referenced to  
ground can operate with a natural drain current of only 2nA internal  
bias current, dissipating nano-watts of power.  
One of the key performance benefits of using matched-pair EPAD  
MOSFE
T
s
i
s to maintain temperature tracking between the differ-  
ent devices in the same package. In general, for EPAD MOSFET  
matched pair devices, one device of the matched pair has gate  
leakage currents, junction temperature effects, and drain current  
temperature coefficient as a function of bias voltage that cancel out  
similar effects of the other device, resulting in a temperature stable  
circuit. As
 
mentioned earlier, this temperature stability can be fur-  
ther enhanced by biasing the matched-pairs at Zero
T
e
mpco (ZTC)  
point, even though that may require special circuit configurations  
and power consumption design considerations.  
LOW POWER AND NANOPOWER  
When supply voltages decrease, the power consumption of a given  
load resistor decreases as the square of the supply voltage. Thus,  
one of the benefits in reducing supply voltage is to reduce power  
consumption. While decreasing power supply voltages and power  
consumption go hand-in-hand with decreasing usefu
l
A
C bandwidth  
and increased noise effects in the circuit, a circuit designer can  
make the necessary tradeoffs and adjustments in any given circuit  
design and bias the circuit accordingly for optimal performance.  
POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCES AND ESD CONTROL  
EPAD MOSFE
T
s
a
re robust and reliable, as demonstrated by more  
than a decade of production history supplied to a large installed  
base of customers across the world. However, these devices do  
require a few design and handling precautions in order for them to  
be used successfully.  
With EPAD MOSFE
T
s
, a circuit that performs any specific function  
can be designed so that power consumption of that circuit is mini-  
mized. These circuits operate in low power mode where the power  
consumed is measure in mW,
µ
W, and nW (nano-watt) region and  
still provide a useful and controlled circuit function operation.  
EPAD MOSFE
T
s
, being a CMOS Integrated Circuit, in addition to  
having Drain, Gate and Source pins normally found in a MOSFET  
device, have three other types of pins, namely V+, V- and IC pins.  
V+ is connected to the substrate, which must always be connected  
to the most positive supply in a circuit. V- is the body of the MOSFE
T
,  
which must be connected to the most negative supply voltage in  
the circuit. IC pins are internally connected pins, which must also  
be connected to V-. Drain, Gate and Source pins must have volt-  
ages between V- and V+ at all times.  
ZERO TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT (ZTC) OPERATION  
For an EPAD MOSFET in this product family, operating points exist  
where the various factors that cause the current to increase as a  
function of temperature balance out those that cause the current to  
decrease, thereby canceling each other, and resulting in a net tem-  
perature coefficient of near zero. An example of this temperature  
stable operating point is obtained by a ZTC voltage bias condition,  
which is 0.38V above V  
a temperature stable current level of about 380
µ
A
f
or th
e
A
LD2108xx  
and 760
µ
A for the ALD2129xx devices.  
when V
 
= +0.1V,
 
resulting in  
Proper power-up sequencing requires powering up supply voltages  
before applying any signals. During the power down cycle, remove  
all signals before removing V- and V+. This way internally back  
biased diodes are never allowed to become forward biased, possi-  
bly causing damage to the device.
 
Of course, standard ESD con-  
trol procedures should also be observed so that static charge does  
not degrade the performance of the devices.
