GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALD810025/ALD910025 are members of the ALD8100xx (quad) and ALD9100xx (dual) family of Supercapacitor Auto Balancing MOSFETs, or SAB™ MOSFETs. SAB MOSFETs are built with production proven EPAD® technology and are designed to address voltage and leakage-current balancing of supercapacitors connected in series. Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors or supercaps, connected in series can be leakage-current balanced by using a combination of one or more devices connected across each supercapacitor stack to prevent over-voltages. The ALD810025 offers a set of unique, precise operating voltage and current characteristics for each of four SAB MOSFET devices, as shown in its Operating ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
table. It can be used to balance up to four supercapacitors connected in series. In this mode, input voltage VIN = VGS = VDS. Different VIN produces an Output Current IOUT = IDS(ON) characteristic and results in an effective variable resistor that varies in value exponentially with VIN.
