General Description
The Supertex HV857 is a high voltage driver designed for driving
Electroluminescent (EL) lamps of up to 5.0 square inches. The
input supply voltage range is from 1.8 to 5.0V. The device uses
a single inductor and a minimum number of passive components.
The nominal regulated output voltage that is applied to the EL
lamp is ±95V. The chip can be enabled/disabled by connecting the
resistor on RSW-Osc to VDD/GND.
The HV857 has two internal oscillators, a switching MOSFET, and
a high voltage EL lamp driver. The frequency for the switching
MOSFET is set by an external resistor connected between
the RSW-Osc pin and the supply pin VDD. The EL lamp driver
frequency is set by an external resistor connected between REL-
Osc pin and VDD pin. An external inductor is connected between
the LX and VDD pins or V
IN
for split supply applications. A 0.003-
0.1µF capacitor is connected between CS and ground. The EL
lamp is connected between VA and VB.
The switching MOSFET charges the external inductor and
discharges it into the capacitor at CS. The voltage at CS will start
to increase. Once the voltage at CS reaches a nominal value of
95V, the switching MOSFET is turned OFF to conserve power. The
outputs VA and VB are configured as an H bridge and are switching
in opposite states to achieve ±95V across the EL lamp.

Description
Fast reverse recovery diode, BAS21 diode or equivalent.
0.003µF to 0.1µF, 100V capacitor to GND is used to store the energy transferred from the inductor.
The EL lamp frequency is controlled via an external R
EL
resistor connected between REL-Osc and VDD
of the device. The lamp frequency increases as R
EL
decreases. As the EL lamp frequency increases,
the amount of current drawn from the battery will increase and the output voltage V
CS
will decrease. The
color of the EL lamp is dependent upon its frequency.
R
EL
Resistor
A 2MΩ resistor would provide lamp frequency of 205 to 275Hz. Decreasing the R
EL
resistor by a factor
of 2 will increase the lamp frequency by a factor of 2.

R
SW
Resistor
The switching frequency of the converter is controlled via an external resistor, RSW between RSW-Osc
and VDD of the device. The switching frequency increases as R
SW
decreases. With a given inductor, as
the switching frequency increases, the amount of current drawn from the battery will decrease and the
output voltage, V
CS
, will also decrease.

The inductor L
X
is used to boost the low input voltage by inductive flyback. When the internal switch is
on, the inductor is being charged. When the internal switch is off, the charge stored in the inductor will
be transferred to the high voltage capacitor C
S
. The energy stored in the capacitor is connected to the
internal H-bridge, and therefore to the EL lamp. In general, smaller value inductors, which can handle
more current, are more suitable to drive larger size lamps. As the inductor value decreases, the switch-
ing frequency of the inductor (controlled by R
SW
) should be increased to avoid saturation.
A 220µH Murata (LQH32CN221) inductor with 8.4Ω series DC resistance is typically recommended. For
inductors with the same inductance value, but with lower series DC resistance, lower R
SW
resistor value
is needed to prevent high current draw and inductor saturation.
As the EL lamp size increases, more current will be drawn from the battery to maintain high voltage
across the EL lamp. The input power, (V
IN
x I
IN
), will also increase. If the input power is greater than
the power dissipation of the package, an external resistor in series with one side of the lamp is recom-
mended to help reduce the package power dissipation.
