GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Enable input logic high can go as low as 1.5V, which allows logic interface operating from typical 1.8V supplies. The device uses a single inductor and a minimum number of passive components. With the internal reference voltage, the regulated output voltage is at a nominal value of 90V. The EL lamps therefore see ±90V. The two EL lamps can be turned on and turned off using two CMOS logic inputs, EN1 and EN2. The driver is disabled when both EN1 and EN2 are at logic low.
