NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.
EL Sheet Driver
OVERVIEW
The SM8143A is a transformer-less electroluminescent (EL) driver IC, capable of driving displays up to 80
cm
2
in size. It is a high-efficienc y dri v er that features re vised 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 application requirements. A microcontroller interface pin (ENA) is provided, which can
be used to control the EL driver ON/OFF function. The device is available in 16-pin VSOP packages.
