Microchip Technology

HV853 is a high voltage, low noise EL (electroluminescent) lamp driver. It is the low noise version of the HV852 with improved EMI performance, operating over an input voltage range of 3.2V to 5.0V. It is designed to drive EL lamps of up to 1.5in2, with capacitive values up to 5.3nF. 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. The EL lamp frequency can be set either by an external resistor REL or by applying an external clock where the clock frequency is divided by 128 to set the EL lamp frequency.

The HV857L is a low noise, high voltage driver designed for driving Electroluminescent (EL) lamps of up to five square inches. It is the low noise version of the EL lamp driver HV857. The input supply voltage range is from 1.8V to 5.0V. 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/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. An external inductor is connected between the LX and VDD pins, or VIN for split supply applications. A 0.003-0.1μF capacitor is connected between CS and ground. The EL lamp is connected between the VA and VB pins. The switching MOSFET charges the external inductor and discharges it into the capacitor at CS. The voltage at CS will start to increase. Once the voltage at CS reaches a nominal value of 95V, the switching MOSFET is turned OFF to conserve power. The outputs VA and VB are configured as an H bridge, and are switching in opposite states to achieve ±95V across the EL lamp.

HV859 is a high voltage driver designed for driving Electroluminescent (EL) lamps of up to 5.0 square inches. The input supply voltage range is from 1.8 to 5.0V. 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 ±105V. The chip can be enabled/disabled by connecting the resistor on RSW-Osc to VDD/ground. The HV859 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 REL-Osc pin and the VDD pin. An external inductor is connected between the LX and VDD pins or VIN for split supply applications. A 0.003-0.1µF capacitor is connected between CS and ground. The EL lamp is connected between VA and VB. The switching MOSFET charges the external inductor and discharges it into the capacitor at CS. The voltage at CS will start to increase. Once the voltage at CS reaches a nominal value of 105V, the switching MOSFET is turned OFF to conserve power. The outputs VA and VB are configured as an H bridge and are switching in opposite states to achieve ±105V across the EL lamp.

HV861 is a low noise, dimmable, high voltage, dual EL Lamp driver designed for driving two electroluminescent (EL) Lamps with a combined area of 5.0 square inches. The input supply voltage range is from 2.5V to 4.5V. Enable input logic high can go as low as 1.5V, which allows logic interface operating from typical 1.8V supplies.The device is designed to minimize audible noise emitted by the EL Lamps. The device uses a single inductor and a minimum number of passive components. Using the internal reference voltage, the regulated output voltage is at a nominal value of 90V. The EL Lamps will therefore see ±90V. The two EL Lamps can be turned ON and OFF using two CMOS logic inputs, EN1 and EN2. The driver is disabled when both EN1 and EN2 are at logic low. The HV861 has two internal oscillators, a switching MOSFET, and two high voltage EL Lamp driver H-bridges. Each driver has its own half bridge common output, COM1 and COM2, which significantly minimizes the DC offset seen by the EL Lamp. 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 pin and the VDD pin. An external inductor is connected between the LX and VDD pins or VIN for split supply applications. Depending upon the EL Lamp sizes, a 1.0nF to 10.0nF capacitor is connected between the CS and ground. As the switching MOSFET charges the external inductor and discharges it into the capacitor at CS, the voltage at CS will start to increase. Once the voltage at CS reaches a nominal value of 90V, the switching MOSFET is turned OFF to conserve power. EL Lamp dimming can be accomplished by applying a PWM logic signal to the PWM pin. The EL Lamp brightness will be inversely proportional to the PWM duty cycle. The HV861 can also slowly turn the EL Lamp ON/OFF giving a fade ON/OFF appearance.

The HV892 liquid lens driver is controlled via an I2C interface, is capable of driving capacitive loads of up to 200pF, and is compatible with 40VRMS to 60VRMS lenses. A single byte (AMP) written to the HV892 controls the operation of the driver. Setting AMP = 01h to FFh controls output amplitude in 255 monotonic steps. Setting AMP = 00h causes the HV892 to go into low power standby mode, consuming less than 1.0µA. When active, the HV892 draws less than 20mA. A charge pump boost converter integrated on-chip provides the high voltage necessary for driving the lens. No external inductors or diodes are needed. Two ceramic chip capacitors are the only external components required for a complete lens driver circuit. An H-bridge output stage provides AC drive to the lens, allowing the use of a single high voltage boost converter while providing alternating polarity to the lens. Controlled rising and falling edges on the drive waveform reduces EMI. The HV892 is offered in a 10-Lead 4x4mm DFN package.

HV9110 is a BiCMOS/DMOS single-output, pulse width modulator IC intended for use in high-speed, high-efficiency switch mode power supplies. It provides all the functions necessary to implement a single-switch current mode PWM, in any topology, with a minimum of external parts. Because the HV9110 utilizes proprietary BiCMOS/DMOS technology, it requires less than one tenth of the operating power of conventional bipolar PWM ICs, and can operate at more than twice their switching frequency. The dynamic range for regulation is also increased, to approximately 8 times that of similar bipolar parts. It starts directly from any DC input voltage between 10 and 120VDC, requiring no external power resistor. The output stage is push-pull CMOS and thus requires no clamping diodes for protection, even when significant lead length exists between the output and the external MOSFET. The clock frequency is set with a single external resistor. Accessory functions are included to permit fast remote shutdown (latching or nonlatching) and under voltage shutdown. For similar ICs intended to operate directly from up to 450VDC input, please consult the data sheets for the HV9120 and HV9123. For detailed circuit and application information, please refer to application notes AN-H13 and AN-H21 to AN-H24.

It provides all the functions necessary to implement a single-switch current mode PWM, in any topology, with a minimum of external parts. HV9112 requires less than one tenth of the operating power of conventional bipolar PWM ICs, and can operate at more than twice their switching frequency. The dynamic range for regulation is also increased, to approximately 8 times that of similar bipolar parts. It starts directly from any DC input voltage between 9.0 and 80VDC, requiring no external power resistor. The output stage is push-pull CMOS and thus requires no clamping diodes for protection, even when significant lead length exists between the output and the external MOSFET. The clock frequency is set with a single external resistor.

A unique input circuit allows the HV9120 to self-start directly from a high voltage input, and subsequently take the power to operate from one of the outputs of the converter it is controlling, allowing very efficient operation while maintaining input-to-output galvanic isolation limited in voltage only by the insulation system of the associated magnetic assembly. A ±2% internal bandgap reference, internal operational amplifier, very high speed comparator, and output buffer allow production of rugged, high performance, high efficiency power supplies of 50W or more, which can still be over 80% efficient at outputs of 1.0W or less. The wide dynamic range of the controller system allows designs with extremely wide line and load variations with much less difficulty and much higher efficiency than usual. The exceptionally wide input voltage range also allows better usage of energy stored in input dropout capacitors than with other PWM ICs. Remote on/off controls allow either latching or nonlatching remote shutdown. During shutdown, the power required is under 6.0mW. For detailed circuit and application information, please refer to application notes AN-H13, AN-H21 to AN-H24.
