GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ALD114804/ALD114804A/ALD114904/ALD114904A 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 applica-
tions. They are excellent functional replacements for normally-closed relay appli-
cations, as they are normally on (conducting) without any power applied, but
could be turned off or modulated when system power supply is turned on. These
MOSFETS have the unique characteristics of, when the gate is grounded, oper-
ating in the resistance mode for low drain voltage levels and in the current source
mode for higher voltage levels and providing a constant drain current.
ALD114804/ALD114804A/ALD114904/ALD114904A MOSFETS are designed for
exceptional device electrical characteristics matching. As these devices are on
the same monolithic chip, they also exhibit excellent temperature tracking char-
acteristics. They are versatile as design components for a broad range of analog
applications, such as basic building blocks for current sources, differential ampli-
fier input stages, transmission gates, and multiplexer applications.
Besides matched pair electrical characteristics, each individual MOSFET also
exhibits well controlled parameters, enabling the user to depend on tight design
limits corresponding to well matched characteristics.
These depletion mode devices are built for minimum offset voltage and differen-
tial thermal response, and they are suitable for switching and amplifying applica-
tions in single supply (0.4V to + 5V ) or dual supply (+/- 0.4V to +/-5V) systems
where low input bias current, low input capacitance and fast switching speed are
desired. These devices exhibit well controlled turn-off and sub-threshold
charactersitics and therefore can be used in designs that depend on sub-thresh-
old characteristics.
The ALD114804/ALD114804A/ALD114904/ALD114904A are suitable for use in
precision applications which require very high current gain, beta, such as current
mirrors and current sources. A sample calculation of the DC current gain at a
drain current of 3mA and gate input leakage current of 30pA = 100,000,000. It is
recommended that the user, 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.
