ABSTRACT:
The plasma display panel driver circuit disclosed includes a panel inter-electrode capacitor, a charging/discharging circuit, and a voltage clamp circuit. The panel inter-electrode capacitor is provided between scanning and sustain electrodes of a panel. The charging/discharging circuit is connected in parallel with the panel inter-electrode capacitor and formed by a combination of a coil, FET switches and reverse current blocking diodes. The voltage clamp circuit includes four switches connected to terminals of the panel inter-electrode capacitor. The panel inter-electrode capacitor, together with a series circuit of the coil and the FET switches, forms a parallel resonance circuit. The panel inter-electrode capacitor 40 is repeatedly charged and discharged through the control of the switches with switch drive inputs. In the driving of a plasma display panel, ineffective power is reduced when charging and discharging the panel inter-electrode capacitor.
