I Pagers I PDA's I Backlit LCD Displays SP4427 Electroluminescent Lamp Driver Dual Oscillators with High Drive Capability DESCRIPTION… The SP4427 is a high voltage output DC-AC converter that can operate from a single 1.5 Vdc battery supply. The SP4427 is capable of supplying up to 250 Vpp signals, making it ideal for driving electroluminescent lamps. The device features 100nA (typ) standby current, for use in low power portable products. One external inductor is required to generate the high voltage charge, and two external capacitors are used to select the oscillator and lamp frequencies. The SP4427 is offered in both an 8 pin narrow SOIC or micro SOIC package. For delivery in die form, please consult the factory. VDD HON H Bridge COIL EL1 EL2 VSS Cosc Losc

SP4427 Electroluminescent Lamp Driver © Copyright 1997 Sipex Corporation THEORY OF OPERATION The SP4427 is made up of three basic circuit elements: an oscillator, coil, and switched H-bridge network. The oscillator portion of the circuit is divided into two precision oscillators. The oscillators set the coil and lamp frequencies independently. This allows for the arbitrary setting of the coil/lamp frequency ratio. The coil frequency can be selected for maximum energy transfer per cycle for a given external coil value. The coil oscillator is set at 75% duty cycle and the lamp oscillator is set at 50% duty cycle for minimum DC offset across the EL lamp. An external capacitor connected between pin 8 and VSS allows the user to vary the lamp oscillator frequency from 75Hz to 350Hz. Likewise, an external capacitor connected between pin 1 and VSS allows the user to vary the coil oscillator frequency from 3.5kHz to 50kHz. The graphs on page 6 show the relationship between oscillators (LOSC and COSC) and their respective capacitor values. The coil is an external component connected from Vbattery to pin 3 of the SP4427. 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 PIN DESCRIPTION Pin 1 – Cosc- Connect Cap1 from Vss to pin 1 to set oscillator frequency. Pin 2 – Vss- Power supply common, connect to ground. Pin 3 – Coil- Coil input, connect coil from Vbattery to pin 3. Pin 4 – EL2- Lamp driver output1, connect to EL lamp. Pin 5 – EL1- Lamp driver output2, connect to EL lamp. Pin 6 – Vdd- Power supply for driver, connect to system Vdd. Pin 7 – HON- Enable for driver operation, high = active; low = inactive. Pin 8 – Losc- Connect Cap2 from Vss to pin 8 to set lamp frequency.

The majority of the current goes through the coil and typically less than 1mA is required for Vdd of the SP4427. Vdd can range from 1.1V to 5V; it is not necessary that Vdd=Vbattery. Coils are also a function of the core material and winding used -- performance variances may be noticeable from different coil suppliers. The Sipex SP4427 is final tested using a 20mH/ 70Ω coil from CTC. For suggested coil sources see page 7. The Fcoil signal controls a switch that connects the end of the coil at pin 3 to ground or to open circuit. The Fcoil signal is a 90% duty cycle signal. 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. Fcoil will send as many charge pulses as possible in 1 Lamp Cycle {Number of Coil pulses in 1 lamp cycle = Coil Freq }(see figure 2 page 6). Each pulse increases the voltage drop across the lamp in discrete steps. As the voltage potential approaches its maximum, the steps become smaller (see figure 1 page 6). 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 Flamp signal which is the oscillator frequency divided by 256. For a 64kHz oscillator, Flamp=256Hz.

3.FtL 1.6 SQ. IN. Typical SP4427CN Application Circuit 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 a number of voltage steps from ground to 55V (typ) on pins 4 and 5 which are 180 degrees out of phase with each other (see figure 3 page 6). A differential view of the outputs is shown in figure 4 on page 6. If Line Noise is of concern it is advisable to add a decoupling cap at Vdd (low ESR type). 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 one external inductor and capacitor. Electroluminescent backlighting is ideal when used with LCD displays, keypads, or other backlit readouts. Its main use is to illuminate displays in Lamp Freq (2)
SP4427 Electroluminescent Lamp Driver © Copyright 1997 Sipex Corporation dim to dark conditions for momentary periods of time. EL lamps typically consume less than LEDs or 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.
