... The SP4403 is a high voltage output DC-AC inverter specifically designed to drive electroluminescent lamps to backlight liquid crystal displays, keypads, and backlit readouts used in battery operated portable equipment. The SP4403 will operate from a +2.2V to +4.5V battery source. The device features a low power shutdown mode which draws less than 100nA (typical), ideal for low power portable products ...

... DESCRIPTION The SP4403 contains a DC-AC inverter that can produce an AC output of 180V +2.2V to +4.5V input voltage. An internal block diagram of the SP4403 can be found in Figure 1. The SP4403 is built on Sipex's dielectrically isolated BiCMOS process that provides the isolation required to separate the high voltage AC signal used to drive the EL lamp from the low voltage logic and signal processing circuitry ...
