A battery protection circuit and a method of controlling the same is disclosed. The battery protection circuit includes: a battery management system for controlling charging and discharging of a battery; and a reset control circuit for controlling a reset operation of the battery management system. The battery management system includes: a reset terminal to which a first voltage for determining reset is applied; and a reset prevention terminal to which a second voltage for determining reset prevention of the battery management system is applied. The reset control circuit is connected between the reset terminal and the reset prevention terminal to control the applying of the first voltage to the reset prevention terminal. Accordingly, an unintended reset operation of the battery management system may be prevented.

Battery protection circuit and method of controlling the same

A plasma display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention applies different driving methods according to a maximum grayscale level of image data input for one field. When the maximum grayscale level of the field is higher than a reference level, an address period for selecting a light emitting cell and a non-light emitting cell from a plurality of discharge cells and a sustain period for sustain-discharging light emitting cells among the plurality of discharge cells are simultaneously driven in a plurality of sequential subfields after a first subfield. When the maximum grayscale level of the field is less than the reference level, the address period and the sustain period are time-separately driven in the plurality of subfields.
