The device uses a single inductor and a minimum number of
passive components. Using the internal reference voltage,
the regulated output voltage is at a nominal value of 90V.
The EL Lamps will therefore see ±90V. The two EL Lamps
can be turned ON and OFF using two CMOS logic inputs,
EN1 and EN2. The driver is disabled when both EN1 and
EN2 are at logic low.
The HV861 has two internal oscillators, a switching MOSFET,
and two high voltage EL Lamp driver H-bridges. Each driver
has its own half bridge common output, COM1 and COM2,
which significantly minimizes the DC offset seen by the EL
Lamp. The frequency for the switching MOSFET is set by an
external resistor connected between the RSW-osc pin and
the supply pin VDD. The EL Lamp driver frequency is set
by an external resistor connected between the REL-osc pin
and the VDD pin. An external inductor is connected between
the LX and VDD pins or VIN for split supply applications.
Depending upon the EL Lamp sizes, a 1.0nF to 10.0nF
capacitor is connected between the CS and ground.
General Description
The Supertex HV861 is a low noise, dimmable, high
voltage, dual EL Lamp driver designed for driving two
electroluminescent (EL) Lamps with a combined area of 5.0
square inches. The input supply voltage range is from 2.5V
to 4.5V. Enable input logic high can go as low as 1.5V, which
allows logic interface operating from typical 1.8V supplies.
The device is designed to minimize audible noise emitted by
the EL Lamps.
As the switching MOSFET charges the external inductor
and discharges it into the capacitor at CS, the voltage at
CS will start to increase. Once the voltage at CS reaches a
nominal value of 90V, the switching MOSFET is turned OFF
to conserve power.
EL Lamp dimming can be accomplished by applying a PWM
logic signal to the PWM pin. The EL Lamp brightness will be
proportional to the PWM duty cycle. The HV861 can also
slowly turn the EL Lamp ON/OFF giving a fade ON/OFF
appearance.
