Patent ID: 7609233

Claim:
A plasma display device comprising: a plurality of electrodes comprising a first electrode; a first switch having a first terminal electrically coupled to a first power source for supplying a first voltage; a first diode having a cathode coupled to a second terminal of the first switch; a second switch having a first terminal electrically coupled to the first power source; a second diode having an anode coupled to a second terminal of the second switch; at least one inductor having a first terminal electrically coupled to an anode of the first diode and a cathode of the second diode, and having a second terminal electrically coupled to the first electrode; a first capacitor having a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the second switch; a third switch having a first terminal electrically coupled to a second terminal of the first capacitor, and a second terminal coupled to the first electrode; a fourth switch having a first terminal coupled to a second power source for supplying a second voltage less than the first voltage, and a second terminal electrically coupled to the first electrode; a second capacitor having a first terminal coupled to the first terminal of the third switch, and a second terminal coupled to a third power source for supplying a third voltage; and a third diode having an anode coupled to the second terminal of the first switch, and a cathode coupled to the second terminal of the first capacitor.
