The IMP525 is an Electroluminescent (EL) lamp driver designed for systems that must operate down to 1 volt and below. The input supply voltage range is 0.9V to 2.5V. Typical output lamp drive voltage is 112V. All
four EL lamp-driving functions are on-chip. These are the switch-mode
power supply, its high-frequency oscillator, the high-voltage H-bridge
lamp driver and its low-frequency oscillator. EL lamps of up to 6nF
capacitance can be driven to high brightness.
The circuit requires few external components; one inductor, one diode,
one capacitor and two resistors. The resistors set the frequency for the
two oscillators.
A disable mode puts the chip into a low current-drain state. When disabled, quiescent current drops to 1µA typical with a V
DD
of 1.5V. The chip
can be disabled by connecting R
SW
, the oscillator frequency setting
resistor, to ground. A disable pad (active low), accessible only on the die,
can also be used to disable the driver.
An internal circuit shuts down the switching regulator when the lamp
drive voltage exceeds 112V peak-to-peak. This conserves power and
extends battery life.
The IMP525 is available in MicroSO and SO-8 packages and in die form.
