General Description
The Supertex HV832 is a high voltage driver designed for driving
two EL lamps with a combined area of 3.5 square inches. The
input supply voltage range is from 2.0V to 5.0V. The device is
designed to reduce the amount of audible noise emitted by the
lamp. The device uses a single inductor and a minimum number
of passive components. The nominal regulated output voltage
that is applied to the EL lamp is ±90V.
The HV832 has an internal oscillator, a switching MOSFET, and
two high voltage EL lamp drivers. The frequency for the switching
MOSFET is set at 51KHz nominal. The EL lamp driver frequency
is set by dividing the MOSFET switching frequency by 128. An
external inductor is connected between the L_X and V_DD pins or
V_IN for split supply applications. A 0.001 to 0.01µF, 100V
capacitor is connected between C_S and Ground. The EL lamps
are connected between EL₁ to Com and EL₂ to Com.
An input control pin is available to select various modes of the
device. Each logic pulse applied to the control pin will cause the
device to change to the next mode. The sequence for the modes
is: (1) EL₁ on only, (2) EL₂ on only, (3) both EL₁ and EL₂ on, and
(4) device shuts down. During power up of the device, the mode
will default to shut down.
The switching MOSFET charges the external inductor and
discharges it into the capacitor at Cs. The voltage at C_S will start
to increase. Once the voltage at Cs reaches a nominal value of
90V, the switching MOSFET is turned off to conserve power. The
outputs EL₁ to Com and EL₂ to Com are configured as H bridges
EL1/EL2 and Com are switching in opposite states to achieve
180V across the EL lamp.
