Low Noise, High Voltage
EL Lamp Driver IC Demoboard
General Description
The Supertex HV857DB1 demoboard contains all
necessary circuitry to demonstrate the features of the
HV857 EL lamp driver.
Simply connect it to a power supply and a lamp. For
additional assistance in designing EL driver circuits,
please refer to application notes
AN-H33 (effect of
external components on performance of Supertex
EL drivers)
and
AN-H43 (EL lamp driver circuits to
reduce audible noise).

Connections:
EN - Enable Input
Enables/Disables the lamp driver. A logic high (connect
to V
DD
) enables the driver, and a logic low (connect to
GND) disables the driver. This input can be connected to
a mechanical switch or to a logic circuit output that has a
source impedance of less than 20kΩ.
V
DD
- IC Supply
Supplies the HV857 EL driver IC. The supplied circuit is
optimized for 3.0V operation. The operating range can be
from 1.8 to 5.0V. Connect to positive terminal of a power
supply.
V
IN
- Inductor Supply
Supplies the high voltage power converter. Connect to
positive terminal of a power supply.
GND - Circuit Ground
Connect to V
DD
and V
IN
negative terminals. Supply bypass
capacitor for both V
DD
and V
IN
are provided on the demo
board. External supply bypass capacitors are not required.

- Lamp Connections
Connect to an EL lamp. Polarity is irrelevant.
Note:
Make sure all the above connections are made before powering up the supply voltages.
