Product details
Overview
HV9708PJ-G from Supertex Inc. is a 32-channel serial-to-parallel converter with high-voltage push-pull outputs, designed for driving AC electroluminescent (EL) displays. It features 5.0V CMOS-compatible inputs, 8.0MHz shift register speed, latched data outputs, and output voltage capability up to 80V. Its HVCMOS® process enables efficient power recovery via internal diode to VPP.
For engineers reviewing the HV9708PJ-G datasheet, HV9708PJ-G pinout, HV9708PJ-G application, or HV9708PJ-G equivalent, key selection considerations include its 44-lead PLCC package, 32 independent high-voltage push-pull outputs, polarity/blanking control logic, and compatibility with cascaded display driver architectures requiring stable 80V sourcing/sinking.
Technical Context
The HV9708PJ-G integrates a 32-bit shift register, 32 individual latches, and dedicated control logic for polarity selection and output blanking. Data shifts on the rising edge of CLK, with forward/reverse shifting options enabled by the POL input. The DATA OUT pin reflects the state of HVOUT32, supporting daisy-chained configurations.
Output drive capability is defined by VOH ≥52V (sourcing, IOH = –20mA) and VOL ≤4.0V (sinking, IOL = 5.0mA), with VPP operating range from 8.0V to 80V and VDD from 4.5V to 5.5V. Latch Enable (LE) controls synchronous transfer from shift register to output latches, decoupling shift and latch operations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output count | 32 independent high-voltage push-pull outputs (HVOUT1–HVOUT32) |
| VPP operating range | 8.0V to 80V - sets maximum load drive voltage for EL/plasma panel applications |
| Shift register speed | 8.0MHz max clock frequency - supports fast serial data loading for large display matrices |
| Logic supply (VDD) | 4.5V to 5.5V - ensures compatibility with standard 5V CMOS microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Output delay (tON/tOFF) | ≤500ns - guarantees tight timing alignment between latch enable and high-voltage output transitions |
| Input compatibility | 5.0V CMOS - eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with mainstream logic |
| Power recovery | Internal diode to VPP - reduces system power loss during inductive load switching in EL drivers |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-lead PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier), 0.653″ × 0.653″ body, 0.050″ pitch, RoHS-compliant (-G suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HVOUT1–HVOUT32 | High-voltage push-pull output | Each drives connected load to either GND or VPP rail; supports bidirectional current flow for AC EL excitation |
| DATA IN | Serial data input | Accepts 32-bit serial stream synchronized to CLK rising edge; LSB-first or MSB-first per design configuration |
| DATA OUT | Serial data output | Reflects bit shifted out of HVOUT32 position; enables cascading multiple HV9708PJ-G devices |
| CLK | Shift register clock | Rising-edge triggered; determines maximum data throughput rate (up to 8.0MHz) |
| LATCH ENABLE (LE) | Latch control input | High level transfers shift register contents to output latches; low level holds latched state while new data loads |
| POLARITY (POL) | Output polarity control | Selects forward or reverse shift direction; critical for optimizing AC waveform symmetry in EL drivers |
| BLANKING (BL) | Output disable control | Asserted high disables all HVOUTs simultaneously - used for global display blanking or power gating |
| VPP | High-voltage supply rail | Primary power source for HV outputs; must be applied after VDD and remain ≥VDD during operation |
| VDD | Logic supply rail | Supplies internal logic and interface circuitry; must be stable 5V before VPP application |
| GND | Common reference | Shared ground for logic and high-voltage sections; requires low-impedance layout to minimize noise coupling |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16823ATL+T | 8-channel, 40V max output; integrated boost controller; I²C interface instead of SPI/serial | Targeted at LED driver ICs with current regulation; lacks polarity/blanking logic and 32-channel scale | Choose for compact, regulated LED systems where channel count and AC waveform control are secondary |

FAQ
What is the maximum safe VPP voltage for continuous operation of the HV9708PJ-G?
The HV9708PJ-G supports a recommended VPP operating range of 8.0V to 80V. While its absolute maximum rating is +90V, sustained operation above 80V risks exceeding thermal limits and degrading reliability. The device's VOH specification (≥52V at –20mA) and internal power dissipation limit (1200mW) confirm 80V as the validated upper bound for stable, long-term use in EL and plasma applications. Always observe the power-up sequence: ground → VDD → inputs → VPP.
Does the HV9708PJ-G support daisy-chaining with other HV9708PJ-G devices?
Yes, the HV9708PJ-G supports daisy-chaining via its dedicated DATA OUT pin, which mirrors the state of HVOUT32. When cascading, the DATA OUT of one HV9708PJ-G connects to the DATA IN of the next, with shared CLK, LE, POL, and BL signals. This architecture enables expansion beyond 32 channels while maintaining synchronized latch timing across all devices - critical for uniform illumination in large-area EL displays.
How does the POLARITY (POL) input affect the HV9708PJ-G shift register behavior?
The POL input on the HV9708PJ-G selects forward or reverse shift direction in the 32-bit register. When POL = low, data shifts clockwise (HVOUT1 ← HVOUT2 ← … ← HVOUT32); when POL = high, it shifts counter-clockwise (HVOUT1 → HVOUT2 → … → HVOUT32). This feature enables dynamic waveform inversion for AC-driven EL lamps, improving luminance uniformity and reducing electrode fatigue - a capability not found in standard shift-register drivers.
Can the HV9708PJ-G drive both sourcing and sinking loads simultaneously on different outputs?
Yes, each of the 32 HVOUT pins on the HV9708PJ-G operates as an independent push-pull stage capable of sourcing current to VPP or sinking to GND based on latched data state. Outputs can be configured heterogeneously: e.g., HVOUT1 sourcing while HVOUT2 sinking, enabling true AC drive across individual EL segments. This dual-mode operation is intrinsic to the HVCMOS® output structure and requires no external components or mode-setting registers.
What is the purpose of the internal diode connected to VPP in the HV9708PJ-G?
The internal diode from HVOUT nodes to VPP in the HV9708PJ-G enables passive power recovery during capacitive load discharge - particularly beneficial for AC electroluminescent lamps. When an output switches from VPP to GND, stored charge flows back through this diode into the VPP rail instead of dissipating as heat. This reduces average VPP supply current (specified as ≤100µA quiescent), lowers thermal load, and improves overall system efficiency without requiring external recovery circuitry.
