Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for driving a plasma display panel, and more particularly, to an apparatus for driving a plasma display panel including a scan driver. According to an embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for driving a plasma display panel includes one switching device to apply a scan pulse per one Y-electrode wherein the switching device is turned on to apply the scan pulse to the selected Y-electrode and wherein other switching devices are turned off. By performing scan and sustain processes using one switching device only, the present invention reduces the costs and the volume of the scan driver. Specifically, by turning on the switching device corresponding to the selected channel only and by turning off the switching devices corresponding to other channels, the present invention minimizes power consumption.
