Abstract:
A method for controlling a power recovery of a plasma display panel television, which is capable of recovering a power applied to scan/sustentation electrodes, sustentation electrodes and address electrodes and applying the recovered power to the electrodes in response to a control signal, said method comprising the steps of:1) setting a maximum variableness range of a recovery power supplying time;2) memorizing first and second reference values which respectively represent starting and stopping points of the recovery power supplying time;3) sequentially counting a predetermined clock signal from a starting point of the maximum variableness range within the maximum variableness range;4) periodically comparing a counted value counted in step 3) with the first and second reference values, respectively, and calculating a first time when the counted value is equal to the first reference value and a second time when the counted value is equal to the second reference value; and5) making the control signal for supplying the recovery power to the electrodes between the first time and the second time, wherein the first and second reference values are variably set from an outside.
