A method and circuit for generating a voltage waveform across a capacitive load such as an electroluminescent device is described. The method includes the steps of charging and discharging the capacitive load using a constant current source. By sequentially performing the steps of providing a constant current through the capacitive load, eliminating the current, and discharging the capacitive load, a trapezoidal voltage waveform is achieved. In portable telephones and laptop computers with electroluminescent displays, the trapezoidal waveform results in reduced audible noise and power consumption.
