General Description
The HV830DB1 EL Driver demo board contains all the
circuitry necessary to drive an EL (Electroluminescent)
lamp. Simply connect it to a power supply and a lamp
as shown below.
Board Layout and Connection Diagram
Connections:
EN - Enable Input
Enables/disables the lamp driver. A logic high (V
a driver, and a logic low (GND) disables the driver. This input
may be connected to a mechanical switch as shown, or to a
logic circuit output that has a source impedence of less than
20kΩ.
V
Supplies the HV830 EL driver IC. The supplied circuit is
optimized for 3.0V to 3.3V operation. Current draw is typically
100µA when enabled, and less than 1µA when disabled.
Note: The supplied circuit has been optimized to drive an 8in
values to suit a particular application. For assitance in designing EL driver circuits, please refer to Application Notes AN-H33 (EL Lamp Driver Circuits) and
AN-H34 (HV823 & HV825 EL Lamp Driver Circuits).
