General Description
The Supertex HV825 is a high voltage driver designed for driving
EL lamps typically up to 6nF. The input supply voltage range is
from 1.0V to 1.6V. The device uses a single inductor and a
minimum number of passive components. Typical output
voltage that can be applied to the EL lamp is
±56V.
The HV825 can be enabled/disabled by connecting the R
SW-osc
resistor to V
DD
/ground.
The HV825 has two internal oscillators, a switching bipolar
junction transistor (BJT), and a high voltage EL lamp driver. The
frequency for the switching BJT is set by an external resistor
connected between the R
SW-osc
pin and the supply pin V
DD
. The
EL lamp driver frequency is set by an external resistor connected
between R
EL-osc
pin and the V
DD
pin. An external inductor is
connected between the L
X
and V
DD
pins. A 0.01 to 0.1µF, 100V
capacitor is connected between C
S
and ground. The EL lamp is
connected between V
A
and V
B
.
The switching BJT charges the external inductor and discharges
it into the 0.01 to 0.1µF, 100V capacitor at C
S
. The voltage at C
S
will start to increase. The outputs V
A
and V
B
are configured as
an H-bridge and are switching in opposite states to achieve a
peak-to-peak voltage of two times the V
CS
voltage across the EL
lamp.
