General Description
The MIC4832 is a low-noise 220VPP
electroluminescent lamp (EL) driver. Using advanced
Bipolar, CMOS, and DMOS (BCD) technology, the
MIC4832 integrates a high voltage boost converter and
an H-bridge driver for driving a large EL lamp.
The MIC4832 can drive large-panel displays for mobile
phones, multimedia players, or automotive electronics
where EL panels are used for backlighting.
The MIC4832 also 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 MIC4832 is offered in a 3 mm x 3 mm DFN and
MSOP-8 lead-free and RoHS-compliant packaging
with a –40°C to 85°C junction temperature range.
