Supertex inc. HV857DB1 Low Noise, High Voltage EL Lamp Driver IC Demoboard General Description The Supertex HV857DB1 demoboard contains all necessary circuitry to demonstrate the features of the HV857 EL lamp driver. Simply connect it to a power supply and a lamp. For additional assistance in designing EL driver circuits, please refer to application notes AN-H33 (effect of external components on performance of Supertex EL drivers) and AN-H43 (EL lamp driver circuits to reduce audible noise). Specifications Parameter Value Input voltage: 1.8 to 5.0V Typical supply current: 26mA Lamp size: 2.6in2 Lamp frequency: 206Hz Converter frequency: 80kHz Board Layout and Connection Diagram VDD CDD RSW VB VA HV857 REL EN CIN CS GND VIN LX D Actual Dimensions: 12mm x 12mm Connections: EN - Enable Input Enables/Disables the lamp driver. A logic high (connect to VDD) enables the driver, and a logic low (connect to GND) disables the driver. This input can be connected to a mechanical switch or to a logic circuit output that has a source impedance of less than 20kΩ. VDD - IC Supply Supplies the HV857 EL driver IC. The supplied circuit is optimized for 3.0V operation. The operating range can be from 1.8 to 5.0V. Connect to positive terminal of a power supply. VIN - Inductor Supply Supplies the high voltage power converter. Connect to positive terminal of a power supply. GND - Circuit Ground Connect to VDD and VIN negative terminals. Supply bypass capacitor for both VDD and VIN are provided on the demo board. External supply bypass capacitors are not required. VA and VB - Lamp Connections Connect to an EL lamp. Polarity is irrelevant. Note: Make sure all the above connections are made before powering up the supply voltages.
