GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HV853 converts a low-voltage DC input to a high-voltage AC output across an EL lamp. A nominal regulated output voltage of ±80V is applied to the EL lamp. It uses a charge pump scheme to boost the input voltage, eliminating the need for an external inductor, diode, and high-voltage capacitor commonly found in conventional topologies. The charge pump circuit discharges its energy into an EL lamp through a high-voltage H-bridge. Once the voltage reaches its regulated limit, it is turned off to conserve power. The EL lamp is then discharged to ground and the H-bridge changes state to allow the charge pump to charge the EL lamp in the opposite direction.
