ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS  
These are stress ratings only and functional operation  
of the device at these ratings or any other above those  
indicated in the operation sections of the specifications  
below is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum  
rating conditions for extended periods of time may  
affect reliability.  
STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS  
Storage in a low humidity environment is preferred. Large high  
density plastic packages are moisture sensitive and should be  
stored in Dry Vapor Barrier Bags. Prior to usage, the parts  
should remain bagged and stored below 40°C at 60%RH. If the  
parts are removed from the bag, they should be used within 48  
hours or stored in an environment at or below 20%RH. If the  
above conditions cannot be followed, the parts should be baked  
for four hours at 125°C in order remove moisture prior to  
soldering. Sipex ships product in Dry Vapor Barrier Bags with a  
humidity indicator card and desiccant pack. The humidity  
indicator should be below 30%RH.

DESCRIPTION  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
TheSP4439electroluminescentlamp(EL)driver  
is a low-cost low voltage device ideal for the  
replacement of LED backlighting designs in cell  
phones, PDAs and other portable designs  
requiring low acoustic noise. The SP4439  
contains a DC-AC inverter that can produce an  
ACoutputof160VP-P (typical)from+3.0Vinput  
voltage.AninternalblockdiagramoftheSP4439  
can be found in Figure 2.  
The SP4439 is a DC-AC inverter made up of an  
oscillator/frequency divider, a coil/boost  
converter, a switched H-bridge network, and a  
precision bridge control logic.  
The Oscillator/Frequency Divider  
The oscillator provides the SP4439 with an on-  
chip clock used to control the coil switch (fCOIL  
)
andtheH-bridgenetwork(fLAMP ). Althoughthe  
oscillator frequency can be varied to optimize  
the lamp output, the ratio of fCOIL/fLAMP will  
always equal 128.  
The SP4439 is built on Sipex's dielectrically  
isolated BiCMOS process that provides the  
isolation required to separate the high voltage  
ACsignalusedtodrivetheELlampfromthelow  
voltage logic and signal processing circuitry.  
This ensures latch-up free operation in the  
interface between the low voltage CMOS  
circuitry and the high voltage bipolar circuitry.  
The SP4439 is ideal for applications driving EL  
lamps to backlight LCD displays and keypads,  
used in cellular radios.  
Figure 2 shows the oscillator output driving the  
coil and through 7 flip flops, driving the lamp.  
The suggested oscillator frequency is 32kHz for  
fCOIL. The oscillator output is internally divided  
down by 7 flip flops to create a second internal  
control signal at 250Hz for fLAMP  
.
The Coil/Boost Converter  
The supply VCOIL can range from +2.7V to +9V.  
See figure 4 on page 6. VCOILshould be chosen  
such that ICOIL does not exceed the maximum  
coil current specification. The majority of the  
current goes through the coil and is typically  
Electroluminescent Technology  
AnELlampisastripofplasticthatiscoatedwith  
a phosphorous material which emits light  
(fluoresces) when a (>40V) AC signal is applied  
across it. Long periods of DC voltages applied  
to the lamp tends to breakdown the material and  
reduce its lifetime. With these considerations in  
mind, the ideal signal to drive an EL lamp is a  
high voltage sine wave. Traditional approaches  
to achieving this type of waveform included  
discrete circuits incorporating a transformer,  
transistors, and several resistors and capacitors.  
This approach is large and bulky, and cannot be  
implementedinmosthandheldequipment. Sipex  
offers low power single chip driver circuits  
specifically designed to drive small to medium  
sized electroluminescent panels.

Energy is stored in the coil according to the  
equation

EL = 1/2 x L x IP  
whereIP,tothefirstapproximation,istheproduct  
IP = (tON) x ((VBATT - VCE)/L)  
where tON is the time it takes for the coil to reach  
its peak current, VCE is the voltage drop across  
theinternalNPNtransistorandListheinductance  
of the coil. When the NPN transistor switch is  
off, the energy is forced through an internal  
diode which drives the switched H-bridge  
network. Thisenergyrecoveryisdirectlyrelated  
to the brightness of the EL lamp output. There  
are many variations among coils; magnetic  
material differences, winding differences and  
parasitic capacitances.  
Market Applications  
Electroluminescent backlighting is ideal when  
usedwithLCDdisplays,keypads,orotherbacklit  
readouts. Itsmainuseistoilluminatedisplaysin  
dim to dark conditions for momentary periods of  
time. EL lamps consume less power than LEDs  
or incandescent bulbs making them ideal for  
battery powered products. Also, EL lamps are  
able to evenly light an area without creating any  
undesirable "hot spots" in the display.

The fCOIL signal controls a switch that connects  
the coil at the COIL pin to ground or to open  
circuit. The fCOIL signal is a 90% duty cycle  
signal switching at the oscillator frequency,  
32kHz. During the time when the fCOIL signal is  
HIGH,thecoilisconnectedfromVCOIL toground  
and a charged magnetic field is created in the  
coil. When the fCOIL signal is LOW, the ground  
connection is switched open, the field collapses,  
and the energy in the inductor is forced to flow  
toward the high voltage H-bridge switches.  
lamps. For example a sign wave would not  
generate any noise.  
Changing the EL Lamp Output Voltage  
Waveform: Designerscanalterthetrapezoidal  
output voltage waveform to the EL Lamp.  
Changing the capacitance of the integrating  
capacitor, CINT, will ideally integrate the output  
waveform making it appear more sinusoidal.  
This will minimize any noise inherent to the  
application.  
The Switched H-Bridge Network  
Current sources and precision controlled timing  
of the SP4439 switched H-bridge network are  
designed to reduce EMI emissions, extend EL  
lamplife,andreducetheoverallpowerdissipation  
of the device.  
Programming the Ultra-Quiet SP4439  
Output Voltage Wave-shape: The optimal  
low noise wave-form to drive an EL lamp is a  
sinusoid. The drawbacks of using a sine wave to  
driveanELlamparetwofold. First,theluminance  
of an EL lamp is proportional to the root mean  
square value of the applied voltage. Second, a  
high voltage sine wave generator is difficult to  
designduetoinefficienciesandspaceconstraints.  
Current sources were added to the high and low  
side of the H-bridge network to ensure control of  
the charge and discharge of the EL lamp. The  
precisionMOSFETtimingoftheSP4439allows  
for controlled charging and discharging of the  
EL lamp to minimize EMI and audible noise.  
Refer to Figure 7 for the single ended and  
differential output waveforms to the EL lamp.  
The first problem can be overcome by using a  
square wave to drive the lamp. This is the most  
efficient waveform and has the highest RMS  
voltage but it creates the highest noise when  
applied to an EL lamp. Sipex has found the best  
trade off between noise and luminance is a  
trapezoid or clipped sinusoid waveform.  
The Precision Bridge Control Circuitry  
This circuitry is driven by the internal oscillator  
to control the timing of the charge and discharge  
of the EL lamp to eliminate EMI and noise  
concerns. This control circuitry drives the H-  
bridge timing. Refer to Figure 2 for the internal  
block diagram of the SP4439.  
TheSP4439outputwave-shapeisprogrammable  
in terms of its rise and fall times. The output  
waveform seen across the lamp terminals is  
actually generated as a single ended waveform  
and is measured differentially. This is shown in  
figure 7.  
Fine Tuning Performance  
Circuit performance of the SP4439 can be  
improvedwithsomeofthefollowingsuggestions:  
Increase EL Lamp Light Output: By  
connecting a fast recovery diode from COIL  
(pin 5) to CINT (pin 6), the internal diode of the  
switchedH-bridgenetworkisbypassedresulting  
in an increase in light output at the EL lamp. We  
suggestafastrecoverydiode,suchastheindustry  
standard 1N4148, be used for D1. This circuit  
connection can be found in Figures 1 and 2.  
The single ended waveform can be broken up  
into three regions: A charge region, a hold  
region and a discharge region. The differential  
rise-time actually encompasses both a charge  
and a discharge region.  
The charge and discharge regions are controlled  
independently by two resistors: RC is the charge  
resistor and RD is the discharge resistor. The  
rise-time (tr) is defined as 800uS for the  
differentialwaveform. Thereforethesingleended  
charge time is one half that or 400uS. Use the  
following to find the full-scale charge time:  
By adjusting the values of RC and RD the rate of  
change and discharge can be adjusted. Faster

edges are, the less noise is produced by the

The ultimate goal here is to calculate the values  
for the charge and discharge resistors RC and RD  
respectively. Thesetworesistorsdefineaconstant  
charge current IC and discharge current ID. The  
combination of the lamp capacitance and the  
constant charge currents results in the rise and  
fall waveform. Lets start by calculating the  
constant currents.  
A typical 2in (12.9cm ) lamp has a capacitance  
of 8nF. Given the typical output peak voltage of  
80V, the charge resistor can be calculated using

the times become fast and a step will appear at  
the zero crossing point of the waveform. The  
intent of the waveform programmability is to  
allow the use of a wide range of lamp sizes while  
maintaining a smooth waveform to minimize

Audio Noise Considerations:  
The proper way to approach the SP4493 system  
design is to first measure the capacitance of the  
lamp intended for the application. The  
capacitance of an EL lamp is proportional to the  
area of the lamp. Lamps from different  
manufacturerswillexhibitdifferentcapacitance/  
area values. Therefore it is important to measure  
a lamp from the lamp manufacturer that will be  
used in production. The following examples  
assume the nominal lamp frequency is set to  
250Hz. This defines a rise-time of 800uS, a total  
A system can have different sources of audio  
noise, The coil the filter capacitor, and the EL  
lamp itself may be a source of audio noise if  
operated in the audio frequency range.  
Designers should select either the coil or coil  
frequency such that the coil is not in continous  
mode as this will greatly decrease efficiency and  
contribute to noise.  
Close attention should be given to the mounting

voltage, use a ground plane and solder the IC's  
VSS directly to the ground plane.  
EL Lamp Driver Design Challenges  
Therearemanyvariableswhichcanbeoptimized  
for specific applications. The amount of light  
emitted is a function of the voltage applied to the  
lamp, the frequency at which it is applied, the  
lamp material and the lamp size.  
The EL lamp itself can also exhibit audible noise  
as a result of high voltage swings at frequencies  
within the audio range. Close attention should  
begiventothephysicalmountingoftheELlamp  
to diminish this concern that can generate both  
EMI and audio noise.  
A number of characterization curves to assist in  
the selection of lamp size and performance  
optimization have been included here (Figures 8  
to 17). In addition, Sipex will perform customer  
application evaluations, using the customer's  
actual EL lamp to determine the optimum  
operating conditions for specific applications.  
For customers considering an EL backlighting  
solution for the first time, Sipex is able to offer  
retrofitted solutions to the customer's existing  
LED or non-backlit product for a thorough  
electrical and cosmetic evaluation. Refer to  
Figure 6 for an enlargement and actual size

voltage swings on the EL lamp. The controlled  
charging and dischanging of the EL lamp by the  
SP4439 minimizes EMI effects.  
PrintedCircuitBoardLayoutSuggestions:  
The SP4439's high voltage operation makes PC  
layout important for minimizing ground bounce  
and noise. Keep the IC's GND pin and the  
ground leads of C1 and CINT less than 0.2 in  
(5mm) apart. Also keep the connections to
