MIC4826BMM-TR

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Overview

The MIC4826BMM-TR is an EL lamp driver IC manufactured by Microchip Technology, housed in an 8-MSOP package. It operates on a boost topology with a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and supports output voltages up to 90 V. The device functions within a frequency range of 60 Hz to 1 kHz and is rated for operating temperatures between -40°C and +85°C.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Feature Summary

• Integrated controller designed specifically for driving electroluminescent (EL) lamps
• Utilizes a boost converter topology to generate necessary drive voltages
• Operates efficiently across a wide input voltage range suitable for battery-powered applications

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Applications

• Backlighting for liquid crystal displays (LCDs)
• Driving electroluminescent panels in industrial instrumentation
• Illumination systems in automotive interior lighting

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BMM' against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout and functional compatibility, as variations exist within the MIC4826 family. Ensure the component meets RoHS3 standards if required by your design specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure alignment with current manufacturing processes and material declarations.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated single-output EL driver is required for low-power display applications. The 8-MSOP package offers a compact footprint for space-constrained designs. Consider the 1.8 V minimum supply voltage for compatibility with single-cell lithium-ion or alkaline battery systems without additional boosting circuitry.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC4826 series of EL lamp drivers from Microchip Technology, originally developed by Micrel. The series provides integrated solutions for generating high-voltage AC signals needed to illuminate EL materials. The MIC4826BMM-TR represents a specific packaging and tape-and-reel variant of this family.
