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.

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.

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. EL1 COIL CINT *D1 1N4148 CINT 0.1µF 5 EL2 EL Lamp *optional device Figure 2. Typical Application Circuit for the SP4405, Set 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, SP4405DS/18 SP4405 Low Voltage Electroluminescent Lamp Driver 5 © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation 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.
