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 Description
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function
1 VDD Supply (Input): 1.8V to 5.5V.
2 RSW
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.
3 REL
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.
4 GND Ground Return.
5 SW Switch Node (Input): Internal high-voltage power MOSFET drain.
6 CS
Regulated Boost Output (External Component): Connect the output capacitor of
the boost regulator and connect to the cathode of the diode.
7 VB EL Output: Connect to one end of the EL lamp. Polarity is not important.
8 VA EL Output: Connect to the other end of the EL lamp. Polarity is not important.
