EL lamps greater than 50nF can be driven for applications not requiring high brightness. The input supply voltage range is from 2.0V to 9.5V. 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 90V. The chip can be enabled by connecting the resistors on the RSW-Osc pin and the REL-Osc pin to the VDD pin, and disabled when connected to GND. The HV823 has two internal oscillators, a switching MOSFET and a high-voltage EL lamp driver. The frequency of the switching converter MOSFET is set by an external resistor connected between the RSWOsc pin and the VDD supply pin. The EL lamp driver frequency is set by an external resistor connected between the REL-Osc pin and the VDD pin. An external inductor is connected between the LX pin and the VDD pin. A 0.01F to 0.1F capacitor is connected between the CS pin and the GND. The EL lamp is connected between the VA and VB pins. The switching MOSFET charges the external inductor and discharges it into the CS capacitor. The voltage at CS will start to increase. Once the voltage at CS reaches a nominal value of 90V, the switching MOSFET is turned OFF to conserve power. The output pins VA and VB are configured as an H-bridge and are switched in opposite states to achieve 180V peak-to-peak across the EL lamp. For additional information, see Application Note ANH34.

The control signal can be from a microprocessor. RSW and REL are typically very high values, therefore, only 10's of microamperes will be drawn from the logic signal when it is at a logic high (enable) state. When the microprocessor signal is high the device is enabled and when the signal is low, it is disabled.

This is shown in Fig. 5. The regulated voltage can be used to run the internal logic of the HV823. The amount of current necessary to run the internal logic is typically 100A at a VDD of 3.0V. Therefore, the regulated voltage could easily provide the current without being loaded down. The HV823 used in this configuration can also be enabled/disabled via logic control signal on the RSW and REL resistors as shown in Fig. 4. Split Supply Configuration for Battery Voltages of Higher than 9.5V Fig. 5 can also be used with high battery voltages, such as 12V, as long as the input voltage, VDD, to the HV823 device is within its specifications of 2.0V to 9.5V.

CS Capacitor 0.01F to 0.1F, 100V capacitor to GND is used to store the energy transferred from the inductor. REL-Osc The EL lamp frequency is controlled via an external REL resistor connected between REL-Osc and VDD pins of the device. The lamp frequency increases as REL decreases. As the EL lamp frequency increases, the amount of current drawn from the battery will increase and the output voltage VCS will decrease. The color of the EL lamp is dependent upon its frequency. A 2.0M resistor would provide lamp frequency of 330 to 450Hz. Decreasing the REL-Osc by a factor of 2 will increase the lamp frequency by a factor of 2. RSW-Osc The switching frequency of the converter is controlled via an external resistor, RSW between the RSW-Osc and VDD pins of the device. The switching frequency increases as RSW decreases. With a given inductor, as the switching frequency increases, the amount of current drawn from the battery will decrease and the output voltage, VCS, will also decrease. CSW Capacitor A 1.0nF capacitor is recommended on RSW-Osc to GND when a 0.01F CS capacitor is used. This capacitor is used to shunt any switching noise that may couple into the RSW-OSC pin. The CSW capacitor may also be needed when driving large EL lamp due to increase in switching noise. A CSW larger than 1.0nF is not recommended. LX Inductor The inductor LX is used to boost the low input voltage by inductive flyback. When the internal switch is on, the inductor is being charged. When the internal switch is off, the charge stored in the inductor will be transferred to the high voltage capacitor CS. The energy stored in the capacitor is connected to the internal H-bridge and therefore to the EL lamp. In general, smaller value inductors, which can handle more current, are more suitable to drive larger size lamps. As the inductor value decreases, the switching frequency of the inductor (controlled by RSW) should be increased to avoid saturation. 560H Murata inductors with 14.5 series DC resistance is typically recommended. For inductors with the same inductance value but with lower series DC resistance, lower RSW value is needed to prevent high current draw and inductor saturation. Lamp Doc. # DSFP-HV823 C082213 As the EL lamp size increases, more current will be drawn from the battery to maintain high voltage across the EL lamp. The input power, (VIN x IIN), will also increase. If the input power is greater than the power dissipation of the package (400mW), an external resistor in series with one side of the lamp is recommended to help reduce the package power dissipation. 7 Supertex inc. www.supertex.com HV823 8-Lead SOIC (Narrow Body) Package Outline (LG) 4.90x3.90mm body, 1.75mm height (max), 1.27mm pitch 1 D 8 Note 1 (Index Area D/2 x E1/2) E1 E L2 L 1 L1 Top View View B Note 1 Gauge Plane Seating Plane View B h A h A A2 Seating Plane A1 e b Side View View A-A A Note: 1.
