Abstract

PDP(Plasma Display Panel) driving circuit requires switching devices and capacitors to stand up high voltages over 150volts. Thereby the power consumption and the cost of a PDP driving circuit increase. In this paper, a PDP driving circuit is proposed that can be operated with a lower supply voltage than the supply voltage of conventional driving circuit. The operation of the proposed driving circuit is verified by the computer simulation and experiments. PSPICE simulation and experiments results show that the output signal can drive PDP cells when the supply voltage is higher than 40volts.
