General Description
Micrel’s MIC4827 is a high output voltage, DC to AC con-
verter, designed for driving EL (Electroluminescent) lamps.
The device operates from an input voltage range of 1.8V to
5.5V, making it suitable for 1-cell Li-Ion and 2- or 3-
cellalkaline/NiCad/NiMH
battery
applications.
The
MIC4827 converts a low voltage DC input to a 180V
PP
AC
output signal that drives the EL lamp.
The MIC4827 is comprised of two stages: a boost stage,
and an H-bridge, lamp driver, stage. The boost stage steps
the input voltage up to +90V. The H-bridge stage then
alternately switches the +90V output to each terminal of
the EL lamp, thus creating a 180V
PP
AC signal to drive the
EL lamp and generate light.
The MIC4827 features separate oscillators for the boost-
and H-bridge stages. External resistors independently set
the operating frequency of each stage. This flexibility
allows the EL lamp circuit to be optimized for maximum
efficiency and brightness.
The MIC4827 uses a single inductor and a minimum
number of external components, making it ideal for
portable, space-sensitive applications.
The MIC4827 is available in an 8-pin MSOP package with
an ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

Pin Function
Supply (Input): 1.8V to 5.5V.
Switcher Resistor (External Component): Set switch frequency of the internal
power MOSFET by connecting an external resistor to VDD. Connecting the
external resistor to GND disables the switch oscillator and shuts down the
device.
EL Resistor (External Component): Set EL frequency of the internal H-bridge
driver by connecting an external resistor to VDD. Connecting the external
resistor to GND disables the EL oscillator.
Ground Return.
Switch Node (Input): Internal high-voltage power MOSFET drain.
Regulated Boost Output (External Component): Connect the output capacitor of
the boost regulator and connect to the cathode of the diode.
EL Output: Connect to one end of the EL lamp. Polarity is not important.
EL Output: Connect to the other end of the EL lamp. Polarity is not important.
