GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• Precision zero threshold voltage mode
• Nominal R @V =0.0V of 104KΩ
• Matched MOSFET to MOSFET characteristics
• Tight lot to lot parametric control
ALD110800A/ALD110800/ALD110900A/ALD110900 are monolithic
quad/dual N-Channel MOSFETs matched at the factory using ALD’s
proven EPAD CMOS technology. These devices are intended for low

voltage, small signal applications. TheALD110800/ALD110900 features
zero threshold voltage, which reduces or eliminates 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 devices an
analog circuit with multiple stages can be constructed to operate at
extremely low supply or bias voltage levels. As an example, an input
amplifier stage operating at 0.2V supply voltage has been demonstrated.

• Low level voltage clamp & zero crossing detector
• Source followers and buffers
ALD110800A/ALD110800/ALD110900A/ALD110900 matched pair
MOSFETs are designed for exceptional device electrical characteris-
tics matching. As these devices are on the same monolithic chip, they
also exhibit excellent tempco tracking characteristics. They are
versatile as design components for a broad range of analog applica-
tions such as basic building blocks for current sources, differential
amplifier input stages, transmission gates, and multiplexer applications.
• Precision current mirrors and current sources
• Capacitives probes and sensor interfaces
• Charge detectors and charge integrators
• Differential amplifier input stage
• High side switches
• Peak detectors and level shifters
• Sample and Hold
• Current multipliers
• Analog switches / multiplexers
• Voltage comparators and level shifters
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.

TheALD110800A/ALD110800/ALD110900A/ALD110900 are MOSFET
devices that feature high input impedance (1012Ω) and high DC current
gain (>108 ). 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 V+ pin to the most
positive voltage potential (or left open unused) and V- and N/C pins to
the most negative voltage potential in the system. All other pins must
have voltages within these voltage limits.
