Abstract
An apparatus and method for driving a plasma display panel. In an idle period, a lowest voltage is applied to each circuit of a driving board of a plasma display panel so that a bootstrap capacitor of a switch driving circuit may enter a chargeable state. Therefore, it is possible not only to make the capacity of the bootstrap capacitor of each circuit small, but also to effectively prevent an abnormal discharge or an abnormal operation of each circuit when an abnormal image is inputted.
