Abstract

This paper proposes a new sustaining driver for AC PDP(Plasma Display Panel), which improves the performance of conventional circuit with reduced sustain voltage such as TERES(TEchnology of REciprocal Sustainer). In the TERES circuit, the sustain voltage is the half of general sustaining driver and there is no energy recovery circuit. The circuit proposed in his paper has an energy recovery circuit and removes surge currents. Although the energy recovery circuit is added, the number of active switching elements is the same as the TERES circuit. The operations of the proposed circuit are analyzed for each mode and its validity is verified by the simulations using PSpice program.
