KIT ATION EVALU E L B A IL AVA
Dual Electroluminescent Lamp Driver
General Description
The MAX14514 is a high-voltage DC-AC converter ideal for driving two electroluminescent (EL) lamps. The MAX14514 Features a +2.7V to +5.5V input range that allows the device to accept a wide variety of voltage sources, including single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) batteries. The lamp outputs of the device generate up to 300VP-P for maximum lamp brightness. The MAX14514 utilizes an inductor-based boost converter to generate the high voltage necessary to drive EL lamps and allows the use of a 220µH inductor to effectively drive total bined lamp sizes of up to 20nF....
