Simply connect it to a power supply and a lamp as shown below.
For additional assistance in designing EL driver circuits, please
refer to application notesAN-H33 (effect of external components
on performance of Supertex EL drivers), application note AN-
H44 (HV832 application circuits), and AN-H43 (EL lamp driver
circuits to reduce lamp audible noise).

Demo Board Connections:
Control lamp selection/Enable Input (EN-SW)
Supplies the high voltage power converter. Connect to positive
terminal of a power supply.
Various modes of the device are selected via the control pin/EN-
SW. Each logic pulse applied to the control pin/EN-SW will
cause the device to change to the next mode. The sequence for
the modes is: 1) EL1 on, 2) EL2 on, 3) both EL1 and EL2 on, and
4) device shuts down. This input may be connected to a
mechanical switch, or to a logic circuit output that has a source
impedance of less than 20KΩ.
GND Circuit Ground
Connect to VDD and VIN negative terminals. Supply bypass
capacitor for both VDD and VIN are provided on the demo board.
External supply bypass capacitors are not necessary.
EL1 and EL2 Lamp Connections
Connects to lamps 1 and 2. Polarity is irrelevant.
VDD IC Supply
Com Lamp Connections
Supplies the HV832 EL driver IC. The supplied circuit is
optimized for 3.0 to 4.2 volt operations. Connect to positive
terminal of a power supply.
