DESCRIPTION

The SP4501 provides designers with both an electroluminescent lamp driver for backlighting and a piezotransducer driver to generate audio alert tones. The integration of an EL lamp driver and a piezotransducer driver in a single cost-effective IC reduces system cost, board space requirements and component count. The SP4501 is ideal for portable applications such as pagers, electronic games, PDAs, medical equipment, and designs with liquid crystal displays, keypads, and backlit readouts. The SP4501 will operate from a +2.2V to +6.0V source.
