GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ALD1108E/ALD1110E are monolithic quad/dual EPADs (Electrically Programmable Analog Device) that utilize CMOS MOSFET with electrically programmable threshold voltage. For a given input voltage,changing the threshold turn-on voltage of a MOSFET device precisely changes its drain on-current, resulting in an on-resistance characteristic that can be precisely set and controlled. Used as an in-circuit element for trimming or setting a combination of voltage and/or current characteristics, it can be programmed via a Personal Computer remotely and automatically via software control. Once programmed and set, the set voltage and current levels are stored indefinitely inside the device as a precisely controlled nonvolatile stored charge, which is not affected during normal operation of the device, even after power has been turned off.
