DIAGNOSTIC/PROTECTIVE HIGH VOLTAGE GATE DRIVER IC (HVIC) FOR PDP

摘要

A PDP sustain driver circuit including at least one high voltage gate driver IC (HVIC) having internal logic functions. The PDP sustain driver circuit including a plurality of switches, the HVIC providing a unique control signal to at least one first and at least one second switch. The internal logic functions including a sensing circuit for sensing information about the at least one second switch; and a reporting circuit for reporting or displaying a signal indicating at least one of a plurality of failure modes of the at least one second switch.
