GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The device uses a single inductor and a minimum number of passive components. The nominal regulated output voltage that is applied to the EL lamp is ±95V. The chip can be enabled and disabled by connecting the resistor on RSW-Osc to VDD/ground. The HV857L has two internal oscillators, a switching MOSFET, and a high-voltage EL lamp driver. The frequency for the switching MOSFET is set by an external resistor connected between the RSW-Osc pin and the supply pin, VDD. The EL lamp driver frequency is set by an external resistor connected between the REL-Osc and VDD pins.
