TK6593x
LARGE EL LAMP DRIVER
FEATURES
APPLICATIONS
■ High Ratio of Brightness / Input Power
■ ConstantBrightnessVersusInputSupplyChanges
■ Optimized for 15 nf to 45 nf Panel Capacitance
■ Panel Voltage Slew Rates Controlled for Life
Enhancement
■ Battery Powered Systems
■ Cellular Telephones
■ Pagers
■ LCD Modules
■ Wrist Watches
■ Panel Peak to Peak Voltage Independent of Input
Voltage and Temperature
■ Consumer Electronics
The oscillator circuits for the boost converter and lamp
driverarebothinternallygeneratedintheTK6593x,without
the need for external components. The clock frequency of
the boost converter is laser-trimmed to ensure good initial
accuracy that is relatively insensitive to variations in
temperature and supply voltage. The clock frequency of
the lamp driver tracks the frequency of the boost converter
by a constant scaling factor.
■ Panel Peak to Peak Frequency Independent of
Input Voltage and Temperature
■ Miniature Package (SOT23L-6)
■ Operates with Miniature Coil
■ Minimum External Components
■ Laser-Trimmed Fixed Frequency Operation
■ PWM Control Method
■ Adjustable Output Voltage
Furthermore, the drive architecture of the TK6593x has
been designed to limit peak drive current delivered to the
lamp. This approach limits the slew rate of the voltage
across the lamp and has the potential to improve lamp life
and decrease RF interference.
■ Lower Noise (Audio and EMI)
■ Intensity Control Application (Refer to Application
Information)
DESCRIPTION
The TK6593x Electroluminescent (EL) Lamp Driver has
beenoptimizedforbatterycontrolledsystemswherepower
consumptionandsizeareprimaryconcerns.Theminiature
device size (SOT23L-6), together with the miniature Toko
EL coils (D32FU, D31FU, D52FU), further helps system
designers reduce the space required to drive the small EL
panels.
The TK6593x is available in a miniature, 6-pin
SOT23L-6 surface mount package.

The proprietary architecture (detailed in the Theory of
Operation section) of the TK6593x provides a constant
output power to the lamp, independent of variations in the
batteryvoltage.Thisarchitectureallowstheoutputvoltage
to remain relatively constant as battery voltages decay,
without the need for directly sensing the high voltage
output of the EL driver.
