The Supertex HV824 is a high voltage driver designed to drive EL lamps with capacitive loads of 2nF to 15nF. The input supply voltage range is 1.0V to1.6V. The device uses a single inductor and a minimum number of passive components. Typical output voltage applied to the EL lamp is 120V to 150V peak-to-peak. The HV824 can be enabled/disabled by connecting the R SW resistor to VDD/ground. In die form, the device has an enable bar pad which enables the IC when it is at logic low.
