Features
General Description
❏ 1.8V to 3.5V operating supply voltage
The Supertex HV828 is a high voltage driver designed for driving
EL lamps of up to 5 in2. The input supply voltage range is from
1.8V to 3.5V. 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 ±80V. The chip can be enabled/disabled by connecting the
resistor on RSW-OSC to VDD/ground.
❏ Low noise
❏ DC to AC conversion
❏ Adjustable output frequency
❏ Adjustable switch frequency
❏ Output voltage regulation
❏ Enable/disable function
The HV828 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 RSW-osc pin and the supply pin VDD. The EL lamp
driver frequency is set by an external resistor connected be-
tween REL-osc pin and the VDD pin. An external inductor is con-
nected between the LX and VDD pins. A 0.01-0.1µF capacitor is
connected between CS and ground. The EL lamp is connected
between VA and VB.
Applications
❏ Mobile cellular phones
❏ Pagers
❏ Portable Transceivers
❏ Remote Control Units
❏ Calculators
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
80V, the switching MOSFET is turned OFF to conserve power.
The outputs VA and VB are configured as an H bridge and are
switching in opposite states to achieve 160V peak-to-peak
across the EL lamp.
