Abstract :
An energy-recovery sustain driver with low circulating current for a plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed. The energy stored in the external resonant inductors during the reverse-recovery periods of the diodes in the sustain driver is transferred to the input voltage source and the energy-recovery capacitors. The proposed sustain driver can reduce the circulating current and relieve the thermal problems of the main sustain switches. Experimental results obtained on a 42-in high-definition PDP with a resolution of 1024 ?? 768 are discussed.
