Final Information
General Description
Features
Micrel’s MIC4826 is a high output voltage, DC to AC converter, designed for driving EL (Electroluminescent) lamps.
The device operates from an input voltage range of 1.8V to
5.5V, making it suitable for 1-cell Li Ion and 2- or 3-cell
alkaline/NiCad/NiMH battery applications. The MIC4826 converts a low voltage DC input to a 160VPP AC output signal that
drives the EL lamp.
The MIC4826 is comprised of two stages: a boost stage, and
an H-bridge, lamp driver, stage. The boost stage steps the
input voltage up to +80V. The H-bridge stage then alternately
switches the +80V output to each terminal of the EL lamp,
thus creating a 160VPP AC signal to drive the EL lamp and
generate light.
The MIC4826 features separate oscillators for the boost- and
H-bridge stages. External resistors independently set the
operating frequency of each stage. This flexibility allows the
EL lamp circuit to be optimized for maximum efficiency and
brightness.
The MIC4826 uses a single inductor and a minimum number
of external components, making it ideal for portable, spacesensitive applications.
The MIC4826 is available in an 8-pin MSOP package with an
ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

When the EL oscillator is enabled, VA and VB switch in
opposite states to achieve a 160V peak-to-peak AC output
signal. The external resistor that connects to the REL pin
determines the EL frequency.

See “Application Information” for component selection and
pre-designed circuits.
Overview
The MIC4826 is a high voltage EL driver with an AC output
voltage of 160V peak-to-peak capable of driving EL lamps up
to 6 in2 . Input supply current for the MIC4826 is typically 21µA
with a typical shutdown current of 10nA. The high voltage EL
driver has two internal oscillators to control the switching
MOSFET and the H-bridge driver. Both of the internal oscillators’ frequencies can be individually programmed through
the external resistors to maximize the efficiency and the
brightness of the lamps.
Regulation
Referring to Figure 1, initially power is applied to VDD. The
internal feedback voltage is less than the reference voltage
causing the internal comparator to go low which enables the
switching MOSFET’s oscillator. When the switching MOSFET
turns on, current flows through the inductor and into the
switch. The switching MOSFET will typically turn on for 90%
of the switching frequency. During the on-time, energy is
stored in the inductor. When the switching MOSFET turns off,
current flowing into the inductor forces the voltage across the
inductor to reverse polarity. The voltage across the inductor
rises until the external diode conducts and clamps the voltage
at VOUT+VD1. The energy in the inductor is then discharged
into the COUT capacitor. The internal comparator continues to
turn the switching MOSFET on and off until the internal
feedback voltage is above the reference voltage. Once the
internal feedback voltage is above the reference voltage, the
internal comparator turns off the switching MOSFET’s oscillator.

Switching Frequency
The switching frequency of the converter is controlled via an
external resistor between RSW pin and VDD pin of the
device. The switching frequency increases as the resistor
value decreases. For resistor value selections, see “Typical
Characteristics: Switching Frequency vs. Switch Resistor”
or use the equation below. The switching frequency range is
8kHz to 200kHz, with an accuracy of ±20%.

In general, as the EL lamp frequency increases, the amount
of current drawn from the battery will increase. The color of
the EL lamp and the intensity are dependent upon its frequency.

EL Frequency
The EL lamp frequency is controlled via an external resistor
connected between REL pin and VDD pin of the device. As
the lamp frequency increases, the resistor value decreases.
For resistor value selections, see the “Typical
Characteristics: EL Frequency vs. EL Resistor” or use the
equation below. The EL frequency range is 60Hz to 1000Hz,
with an accuracy of ±20%.

Enable Function
The enable function of the MIC4826 is implemented by
switching the RSW and REL resistor between ground and VDD.
When RSW and REL are connected to ground, the switch and
the EL oscillators are disabled; therefore the EL driver becomes disabled. When these resistors connect to VDD, both
oscillators will function and the EL driver is enabled.

Diode
The application circuit specifies the 1N4148 or equivalent. It
has a forward current of 150mA and a typical forward voltage
of 950mV. For applications that are not cost driven, a fast
switching diode with lower forward voltage and higher reverse voltage can be used to enhance the efficiency, such as
BAV19WS and BAV20WS.
Output Capacitor
Low ESR capacitors should be used at the regulated boost
output (CS pin) of the MIC4826 to minimize the switching
output ripple voltage. Selection of the capacitor value will
depend upon the peak inductor current, inductor size, and the
load. MuRata offers the GRM40 series with up to 0.015µF at
100V, with a X7R temperature coefficient in 0805 surfacemount package. Typically, values ranging from 0.01µF to
0.1µF at 100V can be used for the regulated boost output
capacitor.
Application Information
Inductor
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 (controlled by RSW) should be increased to avoid saturation or the
input voltage should be increased. Typically, inductor values
ranging from 220µH to 560µH can be used. Murata offers the
LQH3C series up to 560µH and LQH4C series up to 470µH,
with low DC resistance. A 220µH Murata (LQH4C221K04)
inductor is recommended for driving a lamp size of 3 square
inches. It has a maximum DC resistance of 4.0Ω.
