HV832
Preliminary
Dual High Voltage, Low Noise EL Lamp Driver
Ordering Information
General Description
Package Options
The Supertex HV832 is a high voltage driver designed for driving
two EL lamps with a combined area of 3.5 square inches. The
input supply voltage range is from 2.0V to 3.6V. 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.

Features
The HV832 has an internal oscillator, a switching MOSFET, and
two high voltage EL lamp drivers. The frequency for the switch-
ing MOSFET is set at 51KHz nominal. The EL lamp driver
frequency is set by dividing the MOSFET switching frequency by
128. An external inductor is connected between the LX and VDD
pins. A 0.001 to 0.01µF, 100V capacitor is connected between
CS and Ground. The EL lamps are connected between EL1 to
Com and EL2 to Com.

Enable/disable function
An input control pin is available to select various modes of the
device. Each logic pulse applied to the control pin will cause the
device to change to the next mode. The sequence for the modes
is: (1) EL1 on only, (2) EL2 on only, (3) both EL1 and EL2 on, and
(4) device shuts down. During power up of the device, the mode
will default to shut down.

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 EL1 to Com and EL2 to Com are configured as H bridges
and are switching in opposite states to achieve 160V across the
EL lamp.
