PIN ASSIGNMENTS

Pin 1 — EL1/EL2 — Electroluminescent Lamp

Output Select. Selects either EL1 Output

when input is LOW or EL2 Output when

input is HIGH.

Pin 2 — V

This pin should be bypassed with a 0.1

µF

capacitor.

Pin 3 — R

a resistor between this pin and V

frequency of the internal oscillator.

Pin 4 — ON/OFF — Enable. When driven

HIGH, this input pin enables the internal

oscillator and EL driver outputs.

Pin 5 — V

to the lowest circuit potential, typically

ground.

Pin 6 — COIL — Coil. The inductor for the

boost converter is connected from V

this pin.

Pin 7 — CAP — Integrating Capacitor. An

integrating capacitor connected from this pin

to ground filters out any coil switching spikes

or ripple present in the output waveform to

the EL lamps. Connecting a fast recovery

diode from COIL to CAP increases the light

output of the EL lamp.

Pin 8 — EL COMMON — Electroluminescent

Lamp Common. This is a high voltage lamp

driver output pin common to both EL lamps.

Pin 9 — EL2 — Electroluminescent Lamp Out-

put 2. This is a high voltage lamp driver

output pin connect to the second EL lamp.

Pin 10 — EL1 — Electroluminescent Lamp

Output 1. This is a high voltage lamp driver

output pin to connect to the first EL lamp.
