ALD8100XX/ALD9100XX FAMILY of SUPERCAPACITOR  
AUTO BALANCING (SAB) MOSFET ARRAYS  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
SAB MOSFET ADVANTAGES  
TheALD8100xx/ALD9100xx family of SupercapacitorAuto Balanc-  
ing MOSFETArrays, or SAB™ MOSFETs, 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 balanced with single or  
multipleALD8100xx/ALD9100xx packages. These SAB MOSFETs  
are built with ALD production proven EPAD® MOSFET technology.  
TheALD8100xx/ALD9100xx family of SAB MOSFETs are designed  
for automatic supercapacitor balancing. They are replacements for  
many other passive or active supercapacitor balancing methods  
where cost, board space, efficiency, simplicity and power dissipa-  
tion are important design considerations. For example, in applica-  
tions where supercapacitors require minimum long-term power dis-  
sipation (internal leakage currents) as a primary goal, ALD8100xx/  
ALD9100xx SAB MOSFETs are simpler and more effective in per-  
forming the leakage balancing function, using significantly less  
board space and contributing no additional charge loss beyond the  
supercapacitor’s own leakages. Other common methods of charge  
SAB MOSFETs have unique electrical characteristics for superior  
active continuous leakage current regulation and self-balancing of  
stacked series-connected supercapacitors while dissipating near  
zero leakage currents, practically eliminating extra power consump-  
tion. For many applications, SAB MOSFET automatic charge bal-  
ancing offers a simple, economical and effective method to bal-  
ance and regulate supercapacitor voltages. With SAB MOSFETs,  
each supercapacitor in a series-connected stack is continuously  
monitored and automatically controlled for precise, effective bal-  
ancing of its voltage and leakage current.  
PIN CONFIGURATIONS  
ALD8100xx  
The SAB MOSFET regulates the voltage across a supercapacitor  
cell by increasing its drain current exponentially across the  
supercapacitor when its voltage increases, and by decreasing its  
drain current exponentially across the supercapacitor when its volt-  
age decreases. When a supercapacitor cell is charged to a volt-  
age less than 90% of the desired voltage limit, the SAB MOSFET  
across the supercap is turned off and there is zero leakage current  
contribution from the SAB MOSFET. On the other hand, when the  
voltage across the supercapacitor is over the desired voltage limit,  
the SAB MOSFET is turned on to increase its drain currents to  
keep the supercapacitor voltage from rising. Simultaneously, the  
voltages and leakages of other supercapacitors in the series stack  
are lowered to result in a near zero net increase in leakage current.

SUPERCAPACITORS  
Supercapacitors are typically rated with a nominal recommended  
working voltage established for long life at their maximum rated  
operating temperature. When a supercapacitor cell voltage ex-  
ceeds its rated voltage for a prolonged time period, it experiences  
reduced lifetime and eventual rupture and catastrophic failure. To  
prevent such an occurrence, in most applications having two or  
more supercapacitors connected in series, a means of automati-  
cally monitoring and adjusting charge-balancing at their maximum  
operating voltages is required. This is due to different internal leak-  
age currents in each specific cell.

The supercapacitor’s leakage current is a variable function of many  
parameters such as aging, initial leakage current at zero input volt-  
age, material and construction of the supercapactor, its chemistry  
composition, its leakage as a function of the charging voltage and  
the charging current and temperature, operating temperature range,  
and the rate of change of many of these parameters. Supercapacitor  
balancing must correct for these changing effects automatically,  
with minimal added leakage currents or power consumption.

tion, of the supercapacitor voltage (I = V/R). For supercapacitor  
series stacks with more than two cells, the challenge of leakage  
balancing becomes even more onerous.  
pation due to linear currents at all supercapacitor voltage levels,  
whereas SAB MOSFET leakages decrease exponentially with de-  
creased supercapacitor voltages. In many cases, the additional  
leakage charge loss is near zero.  
With most other passive or active circuits that offer charge balanc-  
ing, active power is still being consumed even if the supercapacitor  
voltage falls much below its operating voltage. For a four-cell  
supercapacitor stack, for example, this translates into a 2.0V x 4  
~= 8.0V power supply for an IC charge-balancing circuit. As the  
number of cells increase, adding components to the charge bal-  
ancing circuit, increased circuit complexity and power dissipation  
becomes a greater challenge.Asupercapacitor stack using the SAB  
MOSFET charge-balancing method, on the other hand, would not  
cause extra power dissipation when the number of cells increase.  
This method provides an exponentially decreasing amount of charge  
loss with time, and helps preserve, by far, the greatest amount of  
charge on each of the supercapacitors.  
UNDERSTANDING SUPERCAPACITOR AUTO BALANCING  
USING SAB™ MOSFETS  
The principle behind the SAB MOSFET in balancing  
supercapacitors is simple. It is based on the natural threshold char-  
acteristics of a MOSFET device. The threshold voltage of a  
MOSFET is the voltage at which a MOSFET turns on and starts to  
conduct a current. The drain current of the MOSFET, at or below  
its threshold voltage, is an exponential function of its gate voltage.  
Hence, for small changes in the MOSFET’s gate voltage, its drain-  
source on-current can vary greatly, by orders of magnitude. ALD’s  
SAB MOSFETs are designed to take advantage of this fundamen-  
tal device characteristic.

SAB MOSFETs can be connected in parallel or in series, to suit the  
desired leakage current characteristics, in order to charge-balance  
an array of supercapacitors connected in series. The array of com-  
bined SAB MOSFETs and supercapacitors would be automatically  
self-regulating with various leakage mismatches and environmen-  
tal temperature changes. The SAB MOSFETs can also be used  
entirely in the subthreshold mode, meaning the SAB MOSFET is  
used at min., nominal and max. operating voltages in voltage ranges  
below its specified threshold voltage.  
Consider the case when two supercapacitor cells are connected in  
series, each with an SAB MOSFET connected across it, charged  
by a power supply to a voltage equal to 2 x V .

As all ALD8100xx/ALD9100xx devices operate similarly, with lin-

characteristics. At voltages below its threshold voltage, the  
ALD810025 rapidly turns off at a rate of approximately one decade  
With appropriate design and selection of a specific SAB MOSFET  
device for a given pair of supercapacitors, it is now possible to  
regulate and balance two series-connected supercapacitors with

Likewise, the case of the bottom supercapacitor having a higher

The proess of selecting SAB MOSFETs to match specific models  
of supercapacitors begins by analyzing the parameters and the re-  
quirements of a given set of supercapacitors:  
temperature as well. This current increase compensates for the  
leakage current increase within the supercapacitor, reducing the  
overall supercapacitor temperature leakage effect and preserving  
charge balancing effectiveness. This temperature compensation  
assumes that all supercapacitors and SAB MOSFETs operate in  
the same temperature environments.  
1) For better leakage current matching results, pick the same make  
and model of supercapacitors to be connected in a series. If pos-  
sible, select supercapacitors from the same production batch. (Note:  
SAB MOSFETs are precisely set at the factory and specified such  
that their unit-to-unit variation is not a concern.)  
SAB MOSFET LIMITATIONS  
2) Determine the max. leakage current of each supercapacitor.  
During supercapacitor charging, consideration must be paid to limit  
the rate of charging so that excessive voltage and current does not  
build up across any two pins of the SAB MOSFETs, even momen-  
tarily, to exceed their absolute maximum ratings in voltage, operat-  
ing current, and power dissipation. In most cases though, this is  
not an issue, as other design constraints elsewhere limit the rate of  
charging or discharging of the supercapacitors. For many applica-  
tions, no further action, other than checking the voltage and cur-  
rent excursions, or including a simple current-limiting charging re-  
sistor, is necessary.  
3) Determine the desired nominal operating voltage of the  
supercapacitor.  
4) Determine the maximum operating voltage rating of the  
supercapacitor.  
5) Calculate or measure the maximum leakage current of the  
supercapacitor at its maximum rated operating voltage.  
6) Determine the operating temperature range of the supercapacitor.  
For each SAB MOSFET, its V+ pin must be connected to the most  
positive voltage and its V- and IC pins to the most negative voltage  
within the package. SAB MOSFETs have numerous pins required  
for its manufacturing process, which must be connected to the  
supercapacitors when in use, for proper circuit operation. Multiple  
packages can be cascaded for higher system voltages as long as  
absolute maximum ratings are observed for each individual pack-  
age.  
7) Determine any additional level of operating leakage current in  
the system.  
Next, determine the normalized I  
OUT  
of an SAB MOSFET at a pre-  
selected V operating voltage.  
IN  
For example, the ALD810025 has a rated Drain Current of 1µA at  
applied V of 2.50V. If the desired normalized I is 0.01µA,  
IN  
OUT  
Note that each Drain pin of a SAB MOSFET has an internal re-  
verse biased diode to its Source pin, which can become forward-  
biased if the Drain voltage should become negative relative to its  
Source voltage. This forward-biased diode clamps the Drain volt-  
age to limit the negative voltage relative to its Source voltage, and  
is limited to a 80mA max. rated current between any two pins.  
then theALD810025 would give a bias V voltage of approximately  
2.3V at that current, which produces an equivalent ON resistance  
of 2.3V/0.01µA ~= 230M(using the rule of thumb: one decade of

change per 0.10V of V change).  
OUT  
IN  
Each Gate pin also has a reverse biased diode to V-. When for-  
ward biased, the maximum diode current must be within the abso-  
lute maximum ratings. All other pins must have voltages within V+  
and V- voltage limits. Standard ESD protection facilities and han-  
dling procedures for static sensitive devices must also be followed  
before the SAB MOSFETs are installed. Once the SAB MOSFET  
is permanently connected to the supercapacitors, ESD concerns  
are relieved because any extraneous electrostatic charge would  
be absorbed by the supercapacitor and would not cause exessive  
voltage increase.

ALD8100XX/ALD9100XX FAMILY GENERAL DESCRIPTION (cont.)  
ent leakage currents from the supercapacitors by themselves and  
CHOOSING A SPECIFIC SAB MOSFET  
in combination with the SAB MOSFETs. Take an example of two  
supercapacitors in series, assuming that the top supercapacitor is  
leaking 10µA and the bottom one is leaking 4µA (both at the rated  
2.7V max.) while the power supply remains at 5V DC. The actual  
voltage across the top supercapacitor tends to be less than 2.5V  
(50% of 5.0V), due to its higher internal leakage current, and re-  
sults in a lowered current level than 10µA because the current tends  
to be lower at less than 2.7V. As the total voltage across both  
supercapacitors is still 5.0V, each supercapacitor would experience  
a lowered voltage than its maximum rated voltage of 2.7V, thereby  
resulting in reduced overall leakage currents in each of the two  
supercapacitors.  
In choosing SAB MOSFETs for a specific application, go to the  
SAB MOSFET selection table, (Table 1 for ALD8100xx devices,  
Table 2 for ALD9100xx devices) where each SAB MOSFET Part  
Number and its respective parameters are listed. First, select an  
SAB MOSFET I  
Current horizontally across the top row of the  
OUT  
Table(s). Next, look down that column to the row that contains the  
maximum desired V voltage. The appropriate ALD part number  
IN  
is in the first column of that row. The part number of an SAB  
MOSFET references its rated threshold voltage, but that is not nec-  
essarily the desired operating voltage where the auto-balancing  
supercapacitor operates. Generally, the recommended maximum  
supercapacitor I  
auto-balancing for theALD8100xx/ALD9100xx  
OUT  
family is about 1mA. When supercapacitor leakage current exceeds  
1mA, the effectiveness of the SAB MOSFET auto-balancing gradu-  
ally diminishes and there is additional leakage current contribution  
These leakage currents are then further regulated by the SAB  
MOSFETs connected across each of the supercapacitors. The end  
result is a compensated condition where, for example, the top  
supercapacitor has V of ~2.4V across it and the bottom  
supercapacitor has V of ~2.6V. The excess leakage current of  
IN  
the top supercapacitor is bypassed across the bottom SAB  
MOSFET. Meanwhile the top SAB MOSFET, with ~2.4V across it,  
from the SAB MOSFET itself as its V increases. Please contact  
techsupport@aldinc.com for more information or technical assis-  
tance.  
IN  
IN  
is biased to conduct very little I  
. Note also that the top  
OUT  
supercapacitor is now biased at ~2.4V and, therefore, would expe-  
rience less current leakage than when it is at 2.7V. The key point  
here is that this process of leakage current balancing is fully auto-  
matic and works for a variety of supercapacitors, each with its own  
different leakage current characteristic profile.  
A DESIGN EXAMPLE  
A single 5V power supply using two 2.7V rated supercapacitors  
connected in series and a single ALD810026 SAB MOSFET array  
package (using two of the four devices in the package).  
A second factor to note is that with ~2.4V and ~2.6V across the two  
supercapacitors, as in this example, the actual current level differ-  
ence between the top and the bottom SAB MOSFETs is at about a  
100:1 ratio (~2 orders of magnitude). The net additional leakage  
current contributed by theALD810026 in the design example above  
would, therefore, be approximately 0.01µA. In this case, leakage  
currents between the two supercapacitors can be at a ratio of 100:1  
and still experience charge balancing and voltage regulation. If a  
range of supercapacitor leakge currents can be determined or se-  
lected for a particular model of supercapacitor across different pro-  
duction batches, then a SAB MOSFET part can be specified that  
further minimizes any SAB leakage currents and still maintains bal-  
anced supercapacitor voltages within a narrow range.  
For a supercapacitor with:  
1) max. operating voltage = 2.70V and  
2) max. leakage current = 10µA at 70°C.  
3) At 2.50V, the supercapacitor max. leakage current = 2.5µA at  
25°C.  
Next, pick ALD810026, a SAB MOSFET with V = 2.60V. For this  
t
device, at V = 2.60V, the nominal I  
= 1µA. See Table 1, at  
IN  
OUT  
V
IN  
= 2.50V, I ~= 0.1µA.  
OUT  
At a nominal V of 2.50V, the additional leakage current contribu-  
IN  
tion by the ALD810026 is therefore ~= 0.1µA. The total leakage  
current for the supercapacitor and the SAB MOSFET = 2.5µA +  
0.1µA ~= 2.6µA @ 2.50V operating voltage. When operating volt-  
age becomes 2.40V, additional ALD810026 leakage current con-  
tribution decreases to about 0.01µA.  
The dynamic response of a SAB MOSFET circuit is very fast, and  
the typical response time is determined by the RC time constant of  
the equivalent ON resistance value R  
of the SAB MOSFET and  
ON  
the capacitance value C of the supercapacitor. In many cases the  
value is small initially, responding rapidly to a large voltage

ages settle down, the equivalent R  
increases. As these R

and C values can become very large, it can take a long time for the  
voltages across the supercaps to settle down to steady state lev-  
els. The direction of the voltage movements across the  
supercapacitor, however, can indicate that the supercapacitor volt-  
ages are moving away from the voltage limits.  
If a higher max. leakage current margin is desired, then SAB  
MOSFET selection may need to go to the next SAB MOSFET part  
down in Table 1, which is ALD810025. For ALD810025 operating  
at a max. rated voltage of 2.70V, the max. leakage current margin  
is ~= 50µA. For this device, I  
at 2.50V is ~= 1µA, which is the  
OUT  
average current consumption for the series-connected stack. The  
total current for the supercapacitor and the SAB MOSFET is = 2.5µA  
+ 1µA ~= 3.5µA @ 2.50V operating voltage.  
A HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT DESIGN EXAMPLE  
A nominal 12V DC power supply connects across a supercapacitor  
series stack consisting of six 2.0V supercapacitor cells. Each cell  
has a nominal operating voltage of 2.0V and is rated at 2.5V max.  
Maximum voltage across the stack is 13.92V, which results in a  
per-cell voltage of 2.32V. The max. leakage current for the  
supercapacitor is rated at 1mA at 2.5V.  
Because an SAB MOSFET is always active and always in “on”  
mode, there is no circuit switching or sleep mode involved. This  
may become an important factor when the time interval between  
the supercap discharging or recharging, and other events happen-  
ing in the application, is long, unknown or variable. The circuit op-  
eration is also greatly simplified.  
Next, we choose a maximum acceptable supercapacitor in-balance  
stack voltage of 2.42V, which allows for temperature and aging ef-  
fects, among other factors. When we look down the column of  
In real life situations, the actual circuit behavior is a little different,  
further reducing overall leakage currents from both supercapacitors  
and SAB MOSFETs, due to the automatic compensation for differ-  
1000µA (1mA) in Table 1 to locate a V voltage of 2.42V, we find

In the graph titled “Input Voltage vs. Output Current”, locate the  
point as follows. First, find the V of the ALD810019 from the  
tiple supercapacitor stacks to operate at higher operating voltages.

voltage variation as a function of temperature. If the temperature  
variation allowance is 60mV, then the maximum supercap inbalance  
voltage is 2.48V (2.42V + 0.06V) across temperature.  
LOW LEAKAGE ENERGY HARVESTING APPLICATIONS  
In cases where the supercapacitor leakage current is 1mA max.,  
theALD810019 is suggested. In cases where supercapacitor leak-  
age currents are up to 3mA, then a part such as the ALD81016  
can be used, although this may cause increased leakage current  
through the SAB MOSFET itself. Another way to reduce leakage  
currents would be to parallel connect mulitple ALD810019 devices  
to auto-balance leakage currents greater than 1mA.  
Supercapacitors offer an important benefit in energy harvesting ap-  
plications with a high impedance energy source, in buffering and  
storing such energy to drive a higher power load.  
For energy harvesting applications, supercapacitor leakage cur-  
rents are a critical design parameter, as the average energy har-  
vesting input charge must exceed the average supercapacitor in-  
ternal leakage currents in order for any net energy to be harvested.  
When the input energy is a variable, meaning that its input voltage  
and current magnitude is not constant and dependent upon other  
parameters such as the source energy availability (energy sensor  
conversion efficiency, etc.), the energy harvested and stored must  
supply and exceed the necessary leakage currents, which tend to  
be steady DC currents.  
A 4.2V SUPERCAPACITOR STACK DESIGN EXAMPLE  
A supply voltage of 4.2V across two supercapacitors gives 2.1V  
across each supercapacitor cell. With a maximum leakage current  
of 100µA for each cell at 2.22V maximum V cell voltage, the cor-  
IN  
responding ALD part number is ALD910020SAL, a dual 8L SOIC  
package.  
In these types of applications, in order to minimize the amount of  
energy loss due to leakage currents, it is essential to choose  
supercapacitors with low leakage specifications and to use SAB  
MOSFETs to balance them.  
The ALD910020 would support an I

(supercapacitor leakage  
current) of 300µA at V = 2.30V; 100µA at V = 2.22V; 10µA at

= 2.10V and 1µA at V = 2.00V, respectively. An inbalance

leakage current ratio between two supercapacitor cell units of 100µA  
to 1µA, a 100 to 1 ratio, would produce one cell voltage of 2.22V  
and the other cell voltage of 1.98V, which adds up to 4.20V. Simi-  
larly, a lower supply voltage than 4.2V would be divided between  
the two supercapacitors corresponding to their respective leakage  
currents. Consider the case when the supply voltage is 4.10V, each  
with an ALD910020 connected to it. If the leakage current ratio  
between the supercapacitors remains the same, then one cell would  
be biased at 2.22V (100µA) and the other would be biased at 1.88V  
(4.10V - 2.22V). This would cause the ALD910020 to have a max.  
leakage current contribution of less than 0.1µA.  
For the first 90% of the initial voltages of a supercapacitor used in  
energy harvesting applications, supercapacitor charge loss is lower  
than its maximum leakage rating, at less than its max. rated volt-  
age. SAB MOSFETs, used for charge balancing, would be com-  
pletely turned off, consuming zero leakage current while the  
supercapacitor is being charged, maximizing any energy harvest-  
ing gathering efforts. The SAB MOSFET would not become active  
until the supercapacitor is already charged to over 90% of its max.  
rated voltage. The trickle charging of supercapacitors with energy  
harvesting techniques tends to work well with SAB MOSFETs as  
charge balancing devices, as it is less likely to have high transient  
energy spurts resulting in excessive voltage or current excursions.  
PARALLEL-CONNECTED AND SERIES-CONNECTED SAB  
MOSFETS  
If an energy harvesting source only provides a few µA of current,  
the power budget would not allow wasting any of this current on  
capacitor leakage currents, and on many other conventional charge  
balancing methods. Resistors or operational amplifiers used as  
charge-balancing circuits would dissipate far more energy than  
desired. It may also be an important consideration to reduce long  
term DC leakage currents as energy harvesting charging at low  
levels may take up to many days.  
In the first design example on the previous page, note that the  
ALD810026 is a quad pack, with four SAB MOSFETs in a single  
SOIC package. For applications where two supercapacitors are  
connected in series, the ALD9100xx dual SAB MOSFET is recom-  
mended for charge balancing. If a two-stack supercapacitor re-  
quires charge balancing, then there is also an option to parallel-  
connect two additional SAB MOSFETs of the quad ALD8100xx for  
each of the two supercapacitors. Parallel-connection means that  
the drain, gate and source terminals of each of the two SAB  
MOSFETs are connected together to form a single MOSFET with  
twice the output current and twice the output current sensitivity to  
In summary, in order for an energy harvesting application to be  
successful, the input energy harvested must exceed all the energy  
spent, due to the leakages of the supercapacitors and the charge-  
balancing circuits, plus any load requirements. With their unique  
balancing characteristics and near-zero charge loss, SAB MOSFETs  
are ideal devices to use for supercapacitor charge-balancing within  
energy harvesting applications.

equal to 2 x 0.1µA = 0.2µA. The total current for the combined

this configuration would be chosen to increase max. supercapacitor

Similar to energy harvesting applications, any low leakage long-  
term application, such as a long-term backup battery requiring  
supercapacitors at the output to reduce output impedance and to  
boost its output power, would benefit from SAB MOSFET deploy-  
ment. Over a long time span, reducing leakge currents is an impor-  
tant design parameter. For example, a low DC leakage current of  
just 1µA over 5 years translates into 44.8mAhr of energy lost.

For stacks of series-connected supercapacitors consisting of more  
than three or four cells, it is possible to use a single SAB MOSFET  
array for every supercapacitor stack (up to 4 cells) connected in  
series. Multiple SAB MOSFET arrays can be arrayed across mul-

DS(ON)  
Selection of an SAB MOSFET device depends on a set of desired voltage vs. current characteristics that closely match the supercapacitor  
operating V voltage and I currents that provide the best leakage and regulation profile of a supercapacitor load. The table lists V  
IN OUT IN  
which corresponds to different supercapacitor load voltages. At each V = V  
= V bias voltage, a corresponding I , Drain Source  
IN  
GS  
DS OUT  
ON Current, I  
, is produced by a specific SAB MOSFET, which is equal to the amount of current available to compensate for  
DS(ON)  
supercapacitor leakage current inbalances. This current results in an Equivalent ON Resistance R  
across a supercapacitor cell.  
DS(ON)  
Selection of an SAB MOSFET part number operating at maximum supercapacitor operating voltage at an I  
that corresponds to the  
OUT  
maximum supercapacitor leakage current offer the best possible tradeoff between leakage current balancing and voltage regulation.  
Notes: 1) The SAB MOSFET Output Current (I ) = Drain Source ON Current (I ) and is the maximum current available to  
OUT DS(ON)  
offset the supercapacitor leakage current.  
2) The Input Voltage (V ) = Drain Gate Source Voltage (V  
IN  
= V ) and is normally the same as the voltage across the  
DS  
GS  
supercapacitor.
