ABSTRACT:
A power supply for an electroluminescent lamp includes a pair of inverters for alternately powering the EL lamp from a low voltage DC source. A first inverter is connected to a first electrode of the EL lamp and a transistor is connected between the first electrode and electrical ground. A second inverter is connected to a second electrode of the EL lamp and a second transistor is connected between the second electrode and electrical ground. A pulse generator connected to the inverters and the transistors operates the inverters and transistors to power the EL lamp alternately from one inverter and then the other. In one embodiment of the invention, the voltage across the EL lamp is referenced to ground and, in another embodiment, the voltage across the EL lamp is referenced to the voltage of the DC source.
