Abstract
A ground-reference addressing power supply is connected to the driving and addressing circuitry of a gas discharge display/memory panel for generating write and erase pulse voltages. The addressing power supply is referenced to the same ground potential as the sustainer power supply and is switched on at the desired points in the sustainer wave form for the selective addressing of the panel cells. The addressing power supply can generate different potentials for the write and erase pulse voltages so that each potential level can be set independently of the other to maximize the size of the addressing window.
