HV861K7-G

HV861K7-G is a dual electroluminescent (EL) lamp driver from the Supertex HV861 family, now supported by Microchip Technology, in a compact QFN-16 package with a 3 x 3 mm body. The device drives two EL lamp outputs, making it suitable for backlighting keypads, control panels, instrumentation and other displays where a thin, uniform light source is preferred over point LEDs. Integrating the high-voltage EL drive function into one small package reduces the external circuitry a design team must develop and qualify, and the 3 x 3 mm footprint suits space-constrained handheld and panel products. The -G suffix denotes RoHS-compliant green packaging in the Supertex ordering information, and HV861K7-G is the exact code listed in the HV861 datasheet ordering table for the QFN-16 version. Status note for buyers: Microchip does not currently present a product page for this exact code on its website, while distributor listings continue to carry the part; this page is therefore based on the original Supertex HV861 datasheet, and we recommend confirming lot identity carefully when you enquire. Selection advice: verify with the HV861 datasheet application section that the driver matches your lamp size and brightness target, and quote the full HV861K7-G code so the QFN-16 package is not confused with other HV861 variants. Parameters verified against Microchip documentation.
