General Description
MIC4830
Low Noise 180Vp-p EL Driver
Features
The MIC4830 is a low noise 180Vp-p electroluminescent
lamp (EL) driver. Using advanced Bipolar, CMOS, DMOS
(BCD) technology, the MIC4830 integrates a high voltage
boost converter and an H-bridge driver for driving a large
EL lamp. The MIC4830 can drive large panel displays for
mobile phones, multimedia players or automotive
electronics where EL panels are used for backlighting.
The MIC4830 offers design flexibility with adjustable lamp
and boost converter frequencies, simply by applying
external resistors. A new H-Bridge design reduces audible
noise by creating smoother AC voltage across the EL
panel.
The MIC4830 is offered in MLF
8 Pb-free and RoHS compliant packaging with a –40°C to
85°C junction temperature range.

7 VB EL Output: Connect to one end of the EL lamp. Polarity is not important.
8 VA EL Output: Connect to one end of the EL lamp. Polarity is not important.
8-Pin MSOP (MM)
8-Pin 3mm × 3mm MLF
Switch Resistor (External Component): Set switch frequency of the internal
power MOSFET by connecting an external resistor to VDD. Connecting the
external resistor to GND disables the switch oscillator and shuts down the
device.
EL Resistor (External Component): Set EL frequency of the internal H-bridge
driver by connecting an external resistor to VDD. Connecting the external
resistor to GND disables the EL oscillator.
Regulated Boost Output (External Component): Connect to the output capacitor
of the boost regulator and connect to the cathode of the diode.
