A new high efficiency phase shifted full bridge (PSFB) converter for the power sustaining module of a plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter employs a voltage doubler rectifier without an output inductor. Since it has no output inductor, the voltage stresses of the secondary rectifier diodes can be clamped at the output voltage level. No dissipative resistor-capacitor (RC) snubber for rectifier diodes is needed. Therefore, high efficiency, as well as, a low noise output voltage can be realized. Due to the elimination of the large output inductor, it features a simple structure, lower cost, smaller mass and lighter weight. Furthermore, the proposed converter has wide zero voltage switching (ZVS) ranges with low current stresses of the primary switches. Also the resonance between the leakage inductor of the transformer and the capacitor of the voltage doubler cell reduces the current stresses of the rectifier diodes. In this paper, operational principles, an analysis of the proposed converter and experimental results are presented.

Proposed Multi-level PDP sustain Driver make use of element which has a low voltage rating instead of suggested method by the existing Webber and it passes through a second phase both rising and falling at sustaining voltage waveform In accordance with the change of timing phase(Tr1, Ti1, Tr2) performance comparison of a electric discharge characteristics in a PDP module has been carried out. At the conclusion of experimentation, the feature is extended by alteration of Ti1 and it has little to do with alteration of Tr1.

Since it has no output inductor, the voltage stresses of the secondary rectifier diodes can be clamped at the level of the output voltage. Therefore, no dissipative resistor-capacitor (RC) snubber for rectifier diodes is needed and a high efficiency as well as low noise cutout voltage can be realized. In addition, due to elimination of the large output inductor, it features a simple structure, lower cost, less mass, and lighter weight. Furthermore, the proposed converter has wide zero voltage switching (ZVS ) ranges with low current stresses of the primary switches. Also the resonance between the leakage inductor of the transformer and the capacitor of the voltage doubler cell makes the current stresses of the primary switches and rectifier diodes reduced. In this paper, the operational principles, analysis of the proposed converter, and the experimental results are presented.

Recently, although the power consumption of the flyback converter at the light load and standby power load was minimized by the burst mode operation of PWM IC, flyback converter has still the low efficiency characteristics by the high magnetizing current flowing through magnetizing inductance of transformer. This paper proposes a novel flyback converter with an improved efficiency characteristics and the reduced magnetizing current at the light load and standby power load. Prototype of the 70W multi-output flyback converter for an auxiliary power module of 50 inch PDP TV is built and the experimental results are described.

In this paper, operating characteristics of multi-output LLC resonant converter are described and analyzed. Especially, voltage gain characteristics and an equivalent resonant frequency in the multi-output LLC resonant converter are changed by the influences due to the several load conditions and the secondary leakage inductances of multi-output transformer. Based on the theoretical analysis and simulation results considered the characteristics of voltage gain and load variation, prototype of the 540W 3-output LLC resonant converter for 42 inch PDP TV power module is built and the experimental results are described.

This paper presents a new Leading edge modulation Buck converter operating in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) for the pulse voltage input. In the slave output of the LLC half-bridge multi-resonant converter, to regulate the direct chopper's output voltage, its PWM switch is controlled by the leading edge modulation. The principles of this proposed LEM control method and the fast dynamics in inductor current based on the converter impulse response are studied. The theoretical results are verified through an experimental prototype of the 100W 60inch PDP Address power module.

A high efficiency ZVS PWM asymmetrical half bridge converter for a plasma display panel (PDP) sustaining power module is proposed in this paper. To achieve the ZVS of power switches for the wide fond range, n small additional inductor $L_{lkg}$, which also acts as an output filter inductor, is serially inserted to the transformer primary side. Then, to solve the problem related to ringing in the secondary rectifier caused by $L_{lkg}$, the proposed circuit employs a structure without the output filter inductor, which helps the voltages across rectifier diodes to be clamped at the output voltage. Therefore, no dissipative RC (resistor capacitor) snubber for rectifier diodes is needed and n high efficiency as well as low noise output voltage can be realized. In addition, since it has no large output inductor filter, it features a simpler structure, lower cost, less mass, and lighter weight. Moreover, since all energy stored in $L_{lkg}$ is transferred to the output side, the circulating energy problem can be effectively solved. The operational principle, theoretical analysis, and design considerations are presented. To confirm the operation, validity, and features of the proposed circuit, experimental results from a 425W, 385Vdc/170Vdc prototype are presented.

A full adders is an important component in applications of digital signal processors and microprocessors. Thus it is imperative to improve the power dissipation and operating speed for designing a full adder. We propose a new adder with modified version of conventional static CMOS and pass transistor logic. The carry-out generation circuit of the proposed full adder is different from the conventional XOR-XNOR structure. The output Cout of module III is generated from input A, B and Cin directly without passing through module I as in conventional structure. Thus output Cout is faster by reducing operation step. The proposed module III uses the static CMOS logic style, which results full-swing operation and good driving capability. The proposed 1bit full adder has the advantages over the conventional static CMOS, CPL, TGA, TFA, HPSC, 14T, and TSAC logic. The delay time is improved by 4.3% comparing to the best value known. PDP(power delay product) is improved by 9.8% comparing to the best value. Simulation has been carried out using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS design rule for simulation purposes. The physical design has been verified using HSPICE.
