Abstract:
An apparatus for driving a plasma display panel includes a first driver and a second driver and a first power supplier and a second power supplier for generating sustain discharge pulses having no negative (−) level. The first driver includes a first capacitor charged to a first voltage and is coupled to a power source for supplying a voltage Vs and a ground voltage. The first driver, coupled to one terminal of a panel capacitor, operates to alternately apply double the voltage Vs formed by the power source and the first capacitor and the ground voltage to the one terminal of the panel capacitor. The second power supplier, coupled to the power source and the ground voltage, includes a second capacitor charged to Vs. The second driver coupled to the other terminal of the panel capacitor operates to alternately apply double the voltage Vs formed by the power source and the second capacitor and the ground voltage to the other terminal of the panel capacitor. Here, one of the first driver and the second driver applies the ground voltage to the panel capacitor, while the other applies double the voltage Vs to the panel capacitor.

Abstract:
In a PDP driving circuit, first and second inductors are coupled to a panel capacitor. The driving circuit stores a first energy in the first inductor through a current in the first direction while the voltage at the panel capacitor is maintained to be a first voltage, and uses the first energy and resonance between the panel capacitor and the first inductor to reduce the voltage at the panel capacitor to a second voltage. Next, the driving circuit maintains the voltage at the panel capacitor to be the second voltage, recovers the energy remaining in the first inductor, stores a second energy in a second inductor through a current in the second direction, and uses the energy stored in the second inductor to increase the voltage at the panel capacitor to the first voltage. Therefore, rising and falling time of the voltage at the panel capacitor is shortened, and zero-voltage switching is possible when the driving circuit has a parasitic component.
