The Supertex HV857 is a high voltage driver designed for driving Electroluminescent (EL) lamps of up to 5 square inches. The input supply voltage range is from 1.8V to 5.0V. The device uses a single inductor and a minimum number of passive components. The nominal regulated output voltage that is applied to the EL lamp is 95V. The chip can be enabled/disabled by connecting the resistor on Rsw-osc to VDD/ground.
