What are the advantages of Rogers DUREL® IC drivers?
Rogers’ 3P technology has lower EMI and audible noise features through shared common ground. This gives you the option to reverse lamp lead connections so that the side closest to the most noise sensitive components in the application is grounded. Additionally, when a three-electrode lamp is used, the first and third electrodes can be grounded, creating the equivalent of a Faraday Cage. Rogers is the first EL driver supplier to offer low-noise “stealth” discharge technology, which is now available in the D365, D371, D372, D381, D305, D306, and D388. A wave-shaping feature is available in the D371, D372, D381, D305, D306, and D388. This allows the user to tune the discharge slope of the output waveform for the lowest audible noise with the use of different resistor values. The low-noise wave-shape can vary depending on size of the EL lamp and input supply voltage to the IC.
