EL lamps 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. DESCRIPTION The SP4438 Electroluminescent Lamp Driver is a low-cost low voltage device ideal for the replacement of LED backlighting designs in cell phones, PDAs and other portable designs desiring low acoustic noise. The SP4438 contains a DC-AC inverter that can produce an AC output of 145VP-P (typical) from a +2.7V to +3.3V input voltage. An internal block diagram of the SP4438 can be found in Figure 2. THEORY OF OPERATION The SP4438 is a DC-AC inverter made up of: 1. The Oscillator/Frequency Divider, 2. The Coil/Boost Converter, 3. The Switched Hbridge Network, and 4. The Precision Bridge Control Logic. Further details of each element follow. The SP4438 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. This ensures latch-up free operation in the interface between the low voltage CMOS circuitry and the high voltage bipolar circuitry. The SP4438 is ideal for applications driving EL lamps to backlight LCD displays and keypads, used in cellular radios. The Oscillator/Frequency Divider The oscillator provides the SP4438 with an onchip clock used to control the coil switch (fCOIL) and the H-bridge network (fLAMP ). Although the oscillator frequency can be varied to optimize the lamp output, the ratio of fCOIL/fLAMP will always equal 128. A total of only six external components are required for the standard operation of the SP4438: an inductor, a fast recovery diode, three capacitors and a resistor. A diagram of the SP4438 in a typical application can be found in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows the oscillator output driving the coil and through 7 flip flops, driving the lamp. The suggested oscillator frequency is 32kHz for fCOIL. The oscillator output is internally divided down by 7 flip flops to create a second internal control signal at 250Hz for fLAMP. Electroluminescent Technology An EL lamp is a strip of plastic that is coated with a phosphorous material which emits light (fluoresces) when a (>40V) AC signal is applied across it. Long periods of DC voltages applied to the lamp tends to breakdown the material 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 cannot be implemented in most hand held equipment. Sipex offers low power single chip driver circuits specifically designed to drive small to medium sized electroluminescent panels. The Coil/Boost Converter The supply VCOIL can range from +2.7V to +9V. See figure 4 on page 6. VCOILshould 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. The inductor is an external component connected from VCOIL to the COIL pin of the SP4438. Energy is stored in the coil according to the equation EL = 1/2 x L x IP2 where IP, to the first approximation, is the product IP = (tON) x ((VBATT - VCE)/L) Market Applications Electroluminescent backlighting is ideal when used with LCD displays, keypads, or other backlit readouts. Its main use is to illuminate displays Rev.11/13/00 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 and L is the SP4438 Ultra-Quiet Electroluminescent Lamp Driver 7 © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation inductance of the coil. When the NPN transistor switch is off, the energy is forced through an internal diode which drives the switched Hbridge 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. Increase EL Lamp Light Output: By connecting a fast recovery diode from COIL (pin 5) to CINT (pin 6), 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. The fCOIL signal controls a switch that connects the coil at the COIL pin to ground or to open circuit. The fCOIL signal is a 90% duty cycle signal switching at the oscillator frequency, 32kHz. During the time when the fCOIL signal is HIGH, the coil is connected from VCOIL 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. Split Power Supplies: Instead of driving both the logic and power circuitry of the SP4438 from a single battery supply, two supplies can be implemented, one to drive the IC and the other to drive the inductor. The Switched H-Bridge Network Current sources and precision controlled timing of the SP4438 switched H-bridge network are designed to reduce EMI emissions, extend EL lamp life, and reduce the overall power dissipation of the device. When selecting a separate +2.7V to +9.0V power supply connected to the inductor to drive the IC power circuitry, it is essential that the proper inductor is selected. The peak current draw of the inductor should not exceed maximum conditions over the entire input voltage operating range. The +2.7V to +3.3V power supply is connected to VCC. This power supply can be used to power the oscillator and control logic. The current draw on this power supply will be minimal, typically <1mA for SP4438. Current sources were added to the high and low side of the H-bridge network to ensure control of the charge and discharge of the EL lamp. The precision MOSFET timing of the SP4438 allows for controlled charging and discharging of the EL lamp to minimize EMI and audible noise. Refer to Figure 7 for the single ended and differential output waveforms to the EL lamp. If the inductor selected is too large, the power current may rise too slowly. At low input voltages, this will not allow the peak current to rise to the set peak current trip point. At high input voltages, the power current might rise too quickly and overshoot the set peak current trip point. These conditions will prevent optimal light output at the EL lamp. Excessive currents may permanently affect the normal operation of the SP4438. The Precision Bridge Control Circuitry This circuitry is driven by the internal oscillator to control the timing of the charge and discharge of the EL lamp to eliminate EMI and noise concerns. This control circuitry drives the Hbridge timing. Refer to Figure 2 for the internal block diagram of the SP4438. Changing the EL Lamp Output Voltage Waveform: Designers can alter the trapezoidal output voltage waveform to the EL Lamp. Changing the capacitance of the integrating capacitor, CINT, will ideally integrate the output waveform making it appear more sinusoidal. This will minimize any noise inherent to the application. Fine Tuning Performance Circuit performance of the SP4438 can be improved with some of the following suggestions: Rev. 11/13/00 SP4438 Ultra-Quiet Electroluminescent Lamp Driver 8 © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation Audio Noise Considerations: A system can have different sources of audio noise. The coil, the filter capacitor, and the EL lamp itself may be a source of audio noise if operated in the audio frequency range. emitted is a function of the voltage applied to the lamp, 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. Designers should select either the coil or coil frequency such that the coil is not in continous mode as this will greatly decrease efficiency and contribute to noise. 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 nonbacklit product for a thorough electrical and cosmetic evaluation. Refer to Figure 6 for an enlargement and actual size evaluation board layout. Please contact your local Sales Representative for Sipex or the Sipex factory directly to initiate this valued service. Close attention should be given to the mounting of the filter capacitor where the mounting can act as an amplifier, such as in a speaker box. Film capacitors do not exhibit audio noise concerns but certain ceramic capacitors subjected to a high voltage source can exhibit a piezoelectric effect. This can be a source of concern in the audio range. The EL lamp itself can also exhibit audible noise as a result of high voltage swings at frequencies within the audio range. Close attention should be given to the physical mounting of the EL lamp to diminish this concern that can generate both EMI and audio noise. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Considerations: Electromagnetic Interferenc Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) concerns are rooted in uncontrolled high voltage swings on the EL lamp. The controlled charging and dischanging of the EL lamp by the SP4438 minimizes EMI effects. Printed Circuit Board Layout Suggestions: The SP4438's high voltage 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 less than 0.2 in (5mm) apart. Also keep the connections to COIL 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 directly to the ground plane.
