HV816K6-G

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Overview

The HV816K6-G is a high-voltage, dimmable electroluminescent (EL) lamp driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and draws a typical operating current of 3 mA. The device supports a working frequency of 200 kHz and functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in a QFN-16 surface-mount format, it integrates control logic for EL panel illumination.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Feature Summary

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the QFN-16 configuration. Confirm that the design accounts for the required high-voltage isolation and thermal management specifications outlined in the datasheet.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated solution for EL lamp drive is required rather than general-purpose inverters. Consider the QFN-16 footprint constraints and the -40°C to +85°C operational range. Evaluate if the integrated dimming capability meets system requirements without additional external control hardware.
