M10: Recent Development on Plasma Display Drivers
Jean-Raphael Bezal, ST Microelectronics, Phoenix, AZ, USA

New features in the Columns & Row drivers bring major technical improvements and allow reducing the overall application cost to keep PDP TV competitive. The presentation will start with general information related to the drivers and to the critical technical issues attached to the PDP application, such as Robustness, Power saving and EMI. We will then review the new advanced features embedded in STM drivers which allow solving these technical issues. We will conclude with the IC technology main trends.
