General Description
The Supertex HV833 is a high voltage driver designed for driving
EL lamps of up to 35nF (10-12in²). The input supply voltage
range is from 1.8V to 6.5V. 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 chip can be enabled/disabled by connecting the resistor on
R_SW-OSC to V_DD/ground.
The HV833 has two internal oscillators, a switching MOSFET,
and a high voltage EL lamp driver. The frequency for the
switching MOSFET is set by an external resistor connected
between the R_SW-osc pin and the supply pin V_DD. The EL lamp
driver frequency is set by an external resistor connected between
R_EL-osc pin and the V_DD pin. An external inductor is connected
between the L_X and V_DD or V_IN pins. A 0.003-0.1µF capacitor is
connected between C and ground. The EL lamp is connected
S
between V_A and V_B.
The switching MOSFET charges the external inductor and
discharges it into the capacitor at C . The voltage at C will start
S
S
to increase. Once the voltage at C_S reaches a nominal value of
90V, the switching MOSFET is turned OFF to conserve power.
The outputs V and V are configured as an H bridge and are

B
switching in opposite states to achieve 180V peak-to-peak
across the EL lamp.
