General Description
The Supertex HV826 is a high voltage driver designed for driving
EL lamps. The input supply voltage range is from 1.8V to 3.5V.
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.
The chip can be enabled/
disabled by connecting the resistor on R
SW-OSC
to V
DD
/ground.
The HV826 has two internal oscillators, a switching MOSFET,
and a high voltage EL lamp driver. The frequency for the
switching MOSFET 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 be-
tween R
EL-osc
pin and the V
DD
pin. An external inductor is
connected between the L
X
and V
DD
pins. A 0.01-0.1µF capacitor
is connected between C
S
and ground. The EL lamp is connected
between V
A
and V
B
.
The switching MOSFET charges the external inductor and
discharges it into the capacitor at C
S
. The voltage at C
S
will start
to increase. Once the voltage at C
S
reaches a nominal value of
80V, the switching MOSFET is turned OFF to conserve power.
The outputs V
A
and V
B
are configured as an H bridge and are
switching in opposite states to achieve 160V peak-to-peak
across the EL lamp.
