Electroluminescent Lamp Driver

DESCRIPTION

The SP4412A is a high voltage output DC-AC converter that can operate from a 2.2V-3.6V power supply. The SP4412A is capable of supplying up to 250 VPP signals, making it ideal for driving small electroluminescent lamps. The device features 10 nA (typical) standby current, for use in low power portable products. An inductor is used to generate the high voltage, and an external oscillator is needed as a clock source. The SP4412A is offered in an 8-pin narrow SOIC package or an 8-pin µSOIC package. For delivery in die form, please consult the factory.

SP4412ADS/12 SP4412ACN Electroluminescent Lamp Driver © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation THEORY OF OPERATION The SP4412A is made up of three basic circuit elements, a divider chain, a coil, and a switched H-bridge network. The countdown chain provides the circuit with a clock source used to control the charge and discharge phases for the coil and lamp. An external oscillator is required and is delivered to pin 3 of the SO-8 package or to the "Osc in" pad of the bare die. The chart on page 6 shows the effect of variations in coil values used. If a clock frequency other than 32kHz is used, the output of the driver as well as the amount of current used, will be effected. The suggested oscillator frequency is 32,768Hz. This clock frequency is internally divided to create two internal control signals, f COIL and fLAMP . The output is internally divided down by 7 flip flops; therefore, a 32,768Hz signal will be divided into the following frequencies; 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.25kHz. The second flip flop output (8 kHz) is used to drive the coil (see figure 2 on page 7) and the seventh flip flop output (256 Hz) is used to drive the lamp. Although the oscillator frequency can be varied to optimize the lamp output, the ratio of f COIL / fLAMP will always equal 32.

SP4412ADS/12 SP4412ACN Electroluminescent Lamp Driver © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation Typical SP4412ACN Application Circuit The external clock should have a 50% duty cycle and range from VDD -1V to ground. The maximum external clock frequency is 128 kHz. The coil is an external component connected from VBATTERY to pin 5 of the SP4412A . Energy is developed in the coil according to the equation EL=1/2LI2 where the current I is defined as I=(VBATTERY -IR-VOL )/RT. In order to maximize the energy produced by the coil, VBATTERY should represent the largest voltage in the system (up to a maximum of 3.6 v); VBATTERY = 3.0 VDC with a 35mH/125Ω coil is a typical example. It is not necessary that VDD =V BATTERY . The coil operation is a function of the core material and winding used -- performance variances may be noticeable from different coil suppliers even though the values are the same. The Sipex SP4412A is final tested using a 35 mH/135 ohm coil. For suggested coil sources see page 8. The f COIL signal controls a switch that connects the end of the coil at pin 5 to ground or to open circuit. The fCOIL signal is a 94% duty cycle square wave, switching at 1/4 the oscillator frequency, (for a 32 kHz oscillator fCOIL is 8 kHz). During the time when the fCOIL signal is high, the coil is connected from VBATTERY to ground and a charged magnetic field is created in the coil. During the low part of fCOIL , the ground connection is switched open, the field collapses, and the energy in the inductor is forced to flow toward the high voltage H-bridge switches. f COIL will send 16 of these charge pulses to the lamp, each pulse increases the voltage drop across the lamp in discrete steps. As the voltage potential approaches its maximum, the steps become shorter (see figure 1 on page 7). The H-bridge consists of two SCR structures that act as high voltage switches. These two switches control the polarity of how the lamp is charged. The SCR switches are controlled by the f LAMP signal which is the oscillator frequency divided by 128. For a 32kHz oscillator, fLAMP = 250Hz. When the energy from the coil is released, a high voltage spike is created triggering the SCR switches. The direction of current flow is determined by which SCR is enabled. One full cycle of the H-bridge will create 16 voltage steps from ground to 80V (typical) on pins 6 and 7 which are 180 degrees out of phase with each other (see figure 3 on page 7). A differential view of the outputs is shown in figure 4 on page 7 ELECTROLUMINESCENT TECHNOLOGY What is electroluminescence? An EL lamp is basically a strip of plastic that is coated with a phosphorous material which emits light (fluoresces) when a high voltage (>40V) which was first applied across it, is removed or reversed. Long periods of DC voltages applied to the material tend to breakdown the material and reduce its lifetime. With these considerations in mind, the ideal signal to drive an EL lamp is a high voltage sine wave. Traditional approaches to achieving this type of waveform included discrete circuits incorporating a transformer, transistors, and several resistors and capacitors. This approach is large and bulky, and cannot be implemented in most hand held equipment. Sipex now offers low power single chip driver circuits specifically designed to drive small to medium sized electroluminescent panels. All that is required is an external inductor and an external clock signal. LAMPCoil 32-64 Khz

SP4412ADS/12 SP4412ACN Electroluminescent Lamp Driver © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation Electroluminescent backlighting is ideal when used with LCD displays, keypads, or other backlit readouts. Its main use is to illuminate displays in dim to dark conditions for momentary periods of time. EL lamps typically consume less current than LEDs or incandescent bulbs making them ideal for battery powered products. Also, EL lamps are able to evenly light an area without creating "hot spots" in the display. The amount of light emitted is a function of the voltage applied to the lamp, the frequency at which it is applied, the lamp material used and its size, and lastly, the inductor used. There are many variables which can be optimized for specific applications. Sipex supplies characterization charts to aid the designer in selecting the optimum circuit configuration (see page 6).
