A novel current-fed energy-recovery sustaining driver for plasma display panel (PDP)

Abstract

A novel current-fed energy-recovery sustaining driver (CFERSD) for a plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed. It uses the current source to recover the energy stored in a PDP, which also provides zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of all main switches and the improved operational voltage margin. Furthermore, it features a lower conduction loss and faster transition time. It is well suited for wall-hanging color televisions (TVs).
