DESCRIPTION
The SP4405 is a high voltage output DC-AC inverter specifically designed to drive
electroluminescent lamps to backlight liquid crystal displays, keypads, and backlit readouts
used in battery operated portable equipment. The SP4405 will operate from a +2.2V to +4.5V
battery source. The device features an internal feedback loop that regulates the lamp voltage
output to 160VPP (typical) with varying supply voltages to maintain constant EL lamp brightness
over the life of the battery. The device also has a low power shutdown mode which draws less
than 50nA (typical), ideal for low power portable products. One external inductor is required
to generate the high voltage AC output. One external resistor is used to set the internal
oscillator frequency. The SP4405 is ideal for portable applications such as pagers, cellular
phones, PDAs, and other portable applications using LCDs in dim or low light environments.
The SP4405 is offered in 8-pin SOIC and 8-pin µSOIC packages.

DESCRIPTION
The SP4405 Electroluminescent Lamp Driver
is a low-cost low voltage device ideal for the
replacement of LED backlighting designs in
keypads, handsets, PDAs and other portable
designs. The SP4405 contains a DC-AC inverter
that can produce an AC output of 160VPP (typical)
from a +2.2V to +4.5V input voltage. An
internal feedback loop regulates the lamp voltage
output to 160VPP (typical) with varying supply
voltages to maintain constant EL lamp
brightness. An internal block diagram of the
SP4405 can be found in Figure 1.
This ensures latch-up free operation in the
interface between the low voltage CMOS
circuitry and the high voltage bipolar circuitry.
A total of only six external components are
required for the standard operation of the
SP4405: an inductor, a fast recovery diode,
three capacitors and a resistor. A diagram of the
SP4405 in a typical application can be found in
Figure 2.
Electroluminescent Technology
An EL lamp is basically a strip of plastic that is
coated with a phosphorous material which emits
light (fluoresces) when a high voltage (>40V)
which was first applied across it, is removed or
reversed. Long periods of DC voltages applied
to the material tend to breakdown the material
The SP4405 is built on Sipex's dielectrically
isolated BiCMOS process that provides the
isolation required to separate the high voltage
AC signal used to drive the EL lamp from the
low voltage logic and signal processing circuitry.

and reduce its lifetime. With these considerations
in mind, the ideal signal to drive an EL lamp is
a high voltage sine wave. Traditional approaches
to achieving this type of waveform included
discrete circuits incorporating a transformer,
transistors, and several resistors and capacitors.
This approach is large and bulky and can be
difficult to implement in some smaller hand
held equipment. Sipex now offers low power
single chip driver circuits specifically
designed to drive small to medium sized
electroluminescent panels.

Market Applications
Electroluminescent backlighting is ideal when
used with LCD displays, keypads, or other backlit
readouts. Its main use is to illuminate displays
in dim to dark conditions for momentary periods
of time. EL lamps typically consume less power
than LEDs or incandescent bulbs making them
ideal for battery powered products. Also,
EL lamps are able to evenly light an area
without creating any undesirable "hot spots" in
the display.

for a Square Wave Output with CINT = 0.1µF
The Coil
The supply VBATTERY can range from +2.2V to
+4.5V. VBATTERY should be chosen such that ICOIL
does not exceed the maximum coil current
specification. The majority of the current goes
through the coil and is typically much greater
than IDD.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The SP4405 is a DC-AC inverter made up of:
1. The Oscillator/Frequency Divider, 2. The
Coil, and 3. The Switched H-bridge Network.
Further details of each element follow.
The coil is an external component connected
from VBATTERY to pin 3 of the SP4405. Energy is
stored in the coil according to the equation
EL=1/2LIP2 where IP, to the first approximation,
is the product IP = (tON) (VBATTERY - VCE)/L),
where tON is the time it takes for the coil to reach
its peak current, VCE is the voltage drop across
the internal NPN transistor for fCOIL, and L is the
inductance of the coil. When the NPN transistor
switch is off, the energy is forced through an
internal diode which drives the switched
H-bridge network. This energy recovery is
directly related to the brightness of the EL lamp
output. There are many variations among coils;
magnetic material differences, winding
differences and parasitic capacitances.
For suggested coil suppliers, refer to Page 7.
The Oscillator/Frequency Divider
The oscillator provides the SP4405 with an
on-chip clock used to control the coil switch
(fCOIL) and the H-bridge network (fLAMP and fLAMP).
Although the oscillator frequency can be varied
to optimize the lamp output, the ratio of fCOIL/
fLAMP will always equal 128.
Figure 1 shows the oscillator output driving the
coil and the output of the oscillator with 7 flip
flops driving the lamp. The suggested oscillator
frequency is 48.6kHz (ROSC = 450kΩ) for fCOIL.
The oscillator output is internally divided down
by 7 flip flops to create a second internal control
signal at 380Hz for fLAMP.
The fCOIL signal controls a switch that connects
the end of the coil at pin 3 to ground or to open
circuit. The fCOIL signal is a 90% duty cycle
signal switching at the oscillator frequency,

Increase EL Lamp Light Output: By
connecting a fast recovery diode from COIL
(pin 3) to CINT (pin 7), the internal diode of the
switched H-bridge network is bypassed resulting
in an increase in light output at the EL lamp. We
suggest a fast recovery diode, such as the industry
standard 1N4148, be used for D1. This circuit
connection can be found in Figure 2.
35kHz. During the time when the fCOIL signal is
HIGH, the coil is connected from VBATTERY to
ground and a charged magnetic field is created
in the coil. When the fCOIL signal is LOW, the
ground connection is switched open, the field
collapses, and the energy in the inductor is
forced to flow toward the high voltage H-bridge
switches. fCOIL will send an array of charge
pulses (see Figure 4) to the lamp. Each pulse
increases the voltage drop across the lamp in
discrete steps. As the voltage potential
approaches its maximum, the steps become
smaller (see Figure 3).
Changing the EL Lamp Output Voltage
Waveform: Designers can alter the sawtooth
output voltage waveform to the EL Lamp.
Increasing the capacitance of the integration
capacitor C INT will integrate the sawtooth
waveform making it appear more like a square
wave.
The Switched H-Bridge Network
The H-bridge consists of two SCR structures
that act as high voltage switches. These two
switches control the polarity of how the lamp is
charged. The SCR switches are controlled by
the fLAMP signal which is the oscillator frequency
divided by 128. For a 48.6kHz oscillator, the
7 flip flops will drive fLAMP= 380Hz.
Printed Circuit Board Layout Suggestions:
The SP4405's high-frequency operation makes
PC layout important for minimizing ground
bounce and noise. Keep the IC's GND pin and
the ground leads of C1 and CINT in Figure 2 less
than 0.2in (5mm) apart. Also keep the
connections to COIL (pin 3) as short as possible.
To maximize output power and efficiency and
minimize output ripple voltage, use a ground
plane and solder the IC's VSS (pin 2) directly to
the ground plane.
When the energy from the coil is released, a high
voltage spike is created triggering the SCR
switches. The direction of current flow is
determined by which SCR is enabled. One full
cycle of the H-bridge will create 64 voltage
steps from ground to 80V (typical) on EL1 and
EL2 (pins 4 and 5, respectively) which are 180
degrees out of phase (see Figure 5). A differential
representation of the output is shown in Figure 6.
EL Lamp Driver Design Challenges
There are many variables which can be optimized
for specific applications. The amount of light
emitted is a function of the voltage applied to the
lamp by the inductor, the frequency at which it
is applied, the lamp material and the lamp size.
Sipex supplies characterization charts to aid the
designer in selecting the optimum circuit
configuration (see Figures 7 to 25).
The feedback loop connects the H-bridge
network to the error comparator through an
internal resistor network. When the error
comparator senses a lamp voltage below
regulation (< 80VP typical), the error comparator
enables the oscillator to perform step-up
conversions to the lamp output. When the error
comparator senses lamp voltages above
regulation (> 80VP typical), it disables the
oscillator minimizing power consumption until
the lamp voltage drops below regulation. With
a varying supply voltage, the EL lamp brightness
will appear constant as a direct result of this
regulated output voltage.
Sipex will perform customer application
evaluations, using the customer's actual EL
lamp to determine the optimum operating
conditions for specific applications. For
customers considering an EL backlighting
solution for the first time, Sipex is able to offer
retrofitted solutions to the customer's existing
LED or non-backlit product for a thorough
electrical and cosmetic evaluation. Please

Sipex or the Sipex factory directly to initiate
this valued service.
