Pin Configuration and Description
Pin # Function Description
Enable input signal for EL Lamp 1. Logic high will turn ON the EL lamp 1 and logic low will turn it
OFF. Refer to the function table.

VDD
Input voltage supply pin.
External resistor connection to set both the switching MOSFET frequency and EL Lamp frequency.
The external resistor should be connected between VDD and this pin. The EL lamp frequency is the
switching frequency divided by 512. The switching frequency is inversely proportional to the resis-
tor value. A 845kΩ resistor will provide a nominal switching frequency of 102kHz and an EL lamp
frequency of 200Hz. To change the frequency to fEL1, the value of the resistor RSW-OSC1 can be deter-
mined as RSW-OSC1 = (845 x 200) / fEL1 kΩ.

GND
Device ground.
Drain of internal switching MOSFET. Connection for an external inductor. When the switching
MOSFET is turned ON, the inductor is being charged. When the MOSFET is turned OFF, the energy
stored in the inductor is transferred to the high voltage capacitor connected at the CS pin.
