High Brightness 10in ^2 EL Lamp Driver Demoboard
General Description
The Supertex HV816DB2 is a high brightness demoboard with the circuitry to drive a 10in² EL lamp using the HV816 in a 4x4 QFN-16 package.
Simply connect the board to a power supply and an EL lamp as shown in the circuit schematic on the following page. The HV816DB2 circuit has been optimized to drive an EL lamp size of 10in^2 . For different EL frequencies or smaller EL lamps sizes, the demoboard can be re-optimized by changing some of the component values.
The output voltage is typically ±180V for high lamp brightness, using a single supply input voltage of 5.0V. An external N-channel MOSFET, Supertex TN2425 is used to boost the output voltage to a nominal value of 180V with an input voltage of 5.0V.
For split supply applications, the diode BAS20 between VIN and VDD has to be removed so separate supplies can be used for VIN and VDD.
The discharge rate on the output for EL lamp can be adjusted to minimize audible noise. By increasing the value of the
R_SLEW resistor, the discharge rate will increase, which will reduce audible noise but will also reduce brightness. R_SLEW can be set to a value between 100kΩ and 500kΩ with 100kΩ for maximum brightness.
The HV816DB2 has the provision to set the EL lamp frequency using the resistor R_EL on the board or by an external clock input at the S_EL pin. To use an external clock input, the REL resistor should be removed and the REL-Osc pin should be connected to GND.

VIN, Input
Inductor input voltage. Single supply can be used for V_IN and V_DD or separate supplies can be used. If separate supplies are used, the diode BAS20 between VIN and VDD has to be removed. The input range for V_IN is 4.5 to 5.0V.
VDD, Input
Device input voltage. Single supply can be used for V_IN and V_DD or separate supplies can be used. If separate supplies are used, the diode BAS20 between VIN and VDD has to be removed. The input range for V_DD is 2.7 to 5.5V.
GND
Device Ground. Connect to power supply ground.
EN, Input
A CMOS logic input which enables/disables the lamp driver. A logic high (1.5V to V_DD ) enables the driver and a logic low (0 to 0.2V) disables the driver.
SEL, Input
CMOS logic input to set the EL frequency. To use this pin, the REL-Osc pin should be connected to GND. The frequency input at this pin should be 4x the desired output frequency. An external CLK signal can be used for this input. If this pin is not used, it should be connected to ground.
VA and VB Outputs
VA and VB are for EL Lamp connections. They should be connected to an EL lamp. Polarity is irrelevant.
