HV809
General Description
The Supertex HV809 is an off-line high voltage EL lamp driver
integrated circuit designed for driving EL lamps of up to 350nF at
400Hz. The input supply voltage can be a rectified nominal 120V
AC source or any other DC source up to 200V. The HV809 will
supply the EL lamp with an AC square wave with a peak-to-peak
voltage of two times the input DC voltage.
The HV809 has two internal oscillators, a low output voltage
linear regulator, and a high voltage output H-bridge. The high
voltage output H-bridge frequency is set by an external resistor
connected between the R
EL-osc
and GND pins. The EL lamp is
connected between V
A
and V
B
. For the HV809 in the 8-pin
package, an external RC network can be connected between the
oscillator’s osc1 and osc2 pins to pulse the EL lamp on and off.
