Processed with HVCMOS® technology
1.0V to 1.6V operating supply voltage
DC to AC conversion
The Supertex HV825 is a high voltage driver designed for driving
EL lamps typically up to 6nF. The input supply voltage range is
from 1.0V to 1.6V. The device uses a single inductor and a
minimum number of passive components. Typical output
voltage that can be applied to the EL lamp is 56V.
Output load of typically up to 6nF
Adjustable output lamp frequency
Adjustable converter frequency
Enable function
The HV825 can be enabled/disabled by connecting the RSW-osc
resistor to VDD/ground.
The HV825 has two internal oscillators, a switching bipolar
junction transistor (BJT), and a high voltage EL lamp driver. The
frequency for the switching BJT 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 REL-osc pin and the VDD pin. An external inductor is
connected between the LX and VDD pins. A 0.01 to 0.1µF, 100V
capacitor is connected between CS and ground. The EL lamp is
connected between VA and VB.

Calculators
The switching BJT charges the external inductor and discharges
it into the 0.01 to 0.1µF, 100V capacitor at CS. The voltage at CS
will start to increase. The outputs VA and VB are configured as
an H-bridge and are switching in opposite states to achieve a
peak-to-peak voltage of two times the VCS voltage across the EL
lamp.
