The purpose of this thesis is to develop an ac driving circuit design for plasma display panel with energy recovery. The proposed circuit used the parallel resonance between the inductor and the intrinsic capacitance of the PDP which recover the energy to external capacitor due to the capacitive discharge of the PDP. The control technique based on phase shift pulse width modulation and collocates with suitable control of duty cycle. During the resonance period, all switches can be achieved soft switching. So that switching stress, switching loss and the energy recovery efficiency can be improved. Finally, a single chip microprocessor Xilinx XC2S50E is used in this system and an experiment hardware scheme is established by the proposed principle. The experimental results prove the proposed structure to achieve performance as expected.
