ALD110800APCL

Overview

The ALD110800APCL is a monolithic quad N-Channel Zero Threshold MOSFET array manufactured by Advanced Linear Devices Inc. utilizing EPAD CMOS technology. It features four matched pairs in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Key electrical parameters include a Drain-Source Breakdown Voltage (BVDSX) of 10V, Gate-Source voltage limits of ±10.6V, and maximum power dissipation of 500mW. The threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is precisely set at 0.00V with a maximum offset of 10mV. On-resistance is specified as 500Ω at VGS=4.0V and approximately 104kΩ at VGS=0.0V.

Feature Summary

• Precision zero threshold voltage mode for minimal signal level shift
• Factory-matched MOSFET-to-MOSFET characteristics with tight parametric control
• Low input capacitance and leakage currents for high impedance applications

Applications

• Very low voltage analog and digital circuits
• Zero power fail safe circuits
• Backup battery circuits & power failure detector
• Precision current mirrors and current sources
• Analog switches / multiplexers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PCL' corresponds to the 16-pin Plastic DIP package configuration when sourcing components. Confirm that the RoHS compliance status aligns with project requirements, as indicated by the 'L' suffix designation in the manufacturer's ordering information. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental constraints of the intended deployment scenario.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring precise matching between multiple N-channel devices on a single die. The zero threshold characteristic makes it suitable for sub-threshold operation and extremely low supply voltage environments. Consider the 16-pin PDIP package for through-hole assembly needs where space allows, noting the thermal dissipation limits inherent to this package type.

Part Context

This device belongs to the EPAD® Matched Pair MOSFET Family from Advanced Linear Devices. It shares core technology with the ALD110900 series but differs in channel count and package options. The ALD110800 specifically denotes the quad configuration, while the APCL suffix identifies the plastic DIP variant within the broader product line designed for precision analog applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must maintain the zero threshold specification and quad N-channel configuration. Verify pinout compatibility for the 16-pin DIP package. Alternative parts from other manufacturers may require significant circuit redesign due to differences in threshold voltage programming and matching tolerances.

FAQ

What is the typical offset voltage between matched pairs?

The typical offset voltage (VOS) is 1.8mV to 3.8mV, with a maximum specified value of 10mV.

How does the device behave at VGS = 0.0V?

At VGS = 0.0V, the device exhibits a nominal on-resistance of approximately 104kΩ, allowing it to function as a high-value resistor or switch with minimal leakage.

What is the maximum drain-source breakdown voltage?

The Drain-Source Breakdown Voltage (BVDSX) is specified at 10V under conditions where V- = VGS = -1.0V and IDS = 1.0µA.
