TM EPAD EN (R) AB LE D ALD810018/ALD910018 QUAD/DUAL SUPERCAPACITOR AUTO BALANCING (SABTM) MOSFET ARRAY GENERAL DESCRIPTION FEATURES & BENEFITS The ALD810018/ALD910018 are members of the ALD8100xx (quad) and ALD9100xx (dual) family of Supercapacitor Auto Balancing MOSFETs, or SABTM MOSFETs. SAB MOSFETs are built with production proven EPAD(R) 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. * Simple and economical to use * Precision factory trimmed * Automatically regulates and balances leakage currents * Effective for supercapacitor charge-balancing * Balances up to 4 supercaps with a single IC package * Balances 2-cell, 3-cell, 4-cell series-connected supercaps * Scalable to larger supercap stacks and arrays * Near zero additional leakage currents * Zero leakage at 0.3V below rated voltages * Balances series and/or parallel-connected supercaps * Leakage currents are exponential function of cell voltages * Active current ranges from <0.3nA to >1000A * Always active, always fast response time * Minimizes leakage currents and power dissipation The ALD810018 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. The ALD910018 has its own set of unique precision Operating Electrical Characteristics for each of its two SAB MOSFET devices, suitable for up to two series-connected supercapacitors. Each SAB MOSFET features a precision gate threshold voltage in the Vt mode, which is 1.80V when the gate-drain source terminals (VGS = VDS) are connected together at a drain-source current of IDS(ON) = 1A. 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. This VIN, when connected across each supercapacitor in a series, balances each supercapacitor to within its voltage and current limits. APPLICATIONS * Series-connected supercapacitor cell leakage balancing * Energy harvesting * Long term backup battery with supercapacitor outputs * Zero-power voltage divider at selected voltages * Matched current mirrors and current sources * Zero-power mode maximum voltage limiter * Scaled supercapacitor stacks and arrays PIN CONFIGURATIONS When VIN = 1.80V is applied to an ALD810018/ALD910018, its IOUT is 1A. For a 100mV increase in VIN, to 1.90V, IOUT increases by about tenfold. For an additional increase in VIN to 2.02V for the ALD910018 (2.04V for the ALD810018), IOUT increases one hundredfold, to 100A. Conversely, for a 100mV decrease in VIN to 1.70V, IOUT decreases to one tenth of its previous value, to 0.1A. Another 100mV decrease in input voltage would reduce IOUT to 0.01A. Hence, when an ALD810018/ALD910018 SAB MOSFET is connected across a supercapacitor that charges to less than 1.60V, it would dissipate essentially no power.

APPLYING THE ALD810018/ALD910018: The voltage dependent characteristic of the ALD810018/ ALD910018 on-resistance is effective in controlling excessive voltage rise across a supercapacitor when connected across it. In series-connected supercapacitor stacks, when one supercapacitor voltage rises, the voltage of the other supercapacitors drops, with the ones that have the highest leakage currents having the lowest supercapacitor voltages. The SAB MOSFETs connected across these supercapacitors would exhibit complementary opposing current levels, resulting in little additional leakage currents other than those caused by the supercapacitors themselves. 1) Select a maximum supercapacitor leakage current limit for any supercapacitor used in the stack. This is the same as output current, IOUT = IDS(ON), of the ALD810018/ALD910018. Test that each supercapacitor leakage current meets this maximum current limit before use in the stack. For technical assistance, please contact ALD technical support at techsupport@aldinc.com. 2) Determine whether the input voltage VIN (VGS = VDS) at that IOUT is acceptable for the intended application. This voltage is the same voltage as the maximum desired operating voltage of the supercapacitor. For example, with the ALD810018, IOUT = 1000A corresponds to VIN = 2.32V. 3) Determine that the operating voltage margin, due to various tolerances and/or temperature effects, is adequate for the intended operating environment of the supercapacitor.
