Abstract

A high efficiency and low cost sustain driver for a plasma display panel (PDP) utilizing a current pumping method is proposed. The main concept of the proposed circuit is using the current source to charge and discharge the panel. As a result, all power switches can achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) and every auxiliary switch can also achieve zero current switching (ZCS). Since the inductor current can compensate for the discharge current, the current stress of all the power switches can be reduced considerably. Furthermore, it has features such as a simpler structure, less mass, lower cost, and lower electromagnetic interference than in previous circuits.
