Application Note
HV809 EL Lamp Driver for Battery Powered
and Off-line Equipment
by Scott Lynch, Senior Applications Engineer
Introduction
The Supertex HV809 is designed to drive large lamps at
high brightness. It can operate from a rectied/ltered 120V
AC power line or from any DC source in the range of 50 to
200V. For use in battery powered applications, an external
DC-DC converter is required.
This application note is divided into two sections, portable
applications and off-line applications. Section I describes the
operation of the Supertex’s HV809 EL lamp driver for a battery
operated (4 AA cells) application to drive a 12.5in2 EL lamp
to a brightness of 15ft-lm. Details are provided for designing
a high voltage output DC-DC converter. Applications can be
for PDA’s, GPS’s, hand held computers, and other portable
devices requiring high brightness EL backlighting. Section II
describes the HV809 operating from a 120V AC line to drive
a 100in2 EL lamp to a brightness of 20ft-lm. Applications can
be signage, courtesy lighting, and accent lighting.
Section I - Portable Applications
The basic circuit conguration is shown in Figure 1. There
are many different implementations in designing the DC-DC
converter. In this design, an inexpensive 555 timer IC was
used for the DC-DC converter. Details of the converter are
discussed in a later section.
Lamp Driver Circuit and Operation
The Supertex HV809 is capable of driving EL lamps of up to
350nF at 400Hz. Input supply can be any DC voltage source
from 50 to 200V. The HV809 supplies the EL lamp with an
AC square wave with a peak-to-peak voltage of two times
the input DC voltage.
The HV809 incorporates a lamp drive oscillator with frequency
controlled by a single resistor, REL-osc. The oscillator controls
the lamp driver output section, which consists of 4 transistors
arranged in a full bridge conguration as shown in Figure 2.

The supply voltage can be supplied by a rectied/ltered AC
line or by an external high voltage power supply. Alternate
sets of output transistors are turned on by the drive oscil-
lator, providing a lamp drive waveform as shown in Figure
3. This design has excellent drive capability and provides
a symmetrical bipolar drive, resulting in a zero-bias signal.
Many lamp manufacturers recommend a zero-bias drive sig-
nal to avoid potential migration problems, thereby increasing
lamp life.
Figure 3: Lamp Drive Waveform
The design of the lamp driver section primarily consists of
selecting a lamp drive frequency and voltage. Lamp fre-
quency is controlled by REL-OSC. Typical values range from
510 to 5.1MΩ, with higher values yielding lower frequencies.
Lamp drive voltage is determined by the high voltage supply
(HVOUT).
Approximately a third of the power used by the lamp driver
is dissipated in the lamp resistance, and two thirds is dissi-
pated in the HV809’s bridge transistors during output transi-
tions. With high lamp drive frequencies, large lamps, or high
lamp voltages, power dissipation in the HV809 will rise. This
will be a limiting factor when using the HV809 in the SO-8
package, since power dissipation cannot exceed the pack-
age rating of 500mW. The TO-220 package is rated at 15
Watts.
Figures 4 and 5 show typical characteristics for a 12.5in2
lamp at two lamp drive frequencies. These graphs were de-
rived from a particular lamp and characteristics will vary with
other lamps.
