EL Driver
OVERVIEW
The SM8143A is a transformer-less electroluminescent (EL) driver IC, capable of driving displays up to
80cm
2
(SM8143AV) or 70cm
2
(SM8143AD) in size. It is a high-efficiency driver that features revised coil
switching transistor ON resistance and output circuit configuration to reduce loss. The EL drive frequency and
coil drive frequency can be controlled independently, making the driver circuit optimizable to match applica-
tion requirements. A microcontroller interface pin (ENA) is provided, which can be used to control the EL
driver ON/OFF function.
