DESCRIPTION
STV7801 is a m onolithic integrated circuit implemented in STMicroelectronics BCD proprietary
technology designed as a switched power supply
generator for data drivers in a Plasma Display
Panel (P.D.P.) application.
The high load drive capabil ity of the STV7 801 reduces the number of devices necessary to drive a
complete PDP (4 to 6 devices for a 42” VGA 16/9
PDP monitor).
The STV7801 high current drive capability provides a high power recovery efficiency coefficient
superior to 85% on constant capacitive load.
To limit the numbe r of external components, the
device integrates level shifters driven with 5V
CMOS compatible levels.
To increase the reliability of the system, the device
integrates several protections such as output
over-voltage, over-temperature, power-ON protection.

4 - CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
STV7801S
STV7801 is a monol ithic integrated circuit implemented in ST Microelectronics BCD proprietary
technology designed as a switched power supp ly
generator for data drivers in a Plasma Display
Panel (P.D.P.) application.
The high load drive capability of STV7801 reduces
the number of devices n ecessary to drive a com plete PDP (4 to 6 devices for a 42" VGA 16/9 PDP
monitor).
STV7801 high current drive capability provides a
high power recovery efficiency coefficient superior
to 85% on constant capacitive load. The structure
of the output stage is implemented with 2 DMOS
transistors to minimise the die size. External components like bootstrap capacitor can also be implemented to increase the performances of the circuit.
STV7801 integrates level s hifters driven with 5V
CMOS compatible levels. This feature reduces the
number of discrete components such as voltage
trans lator s.
STV7801 integrates several protections like output
over-voltage, timing control and over-tem perature
to increase the reliability of the system.
Over-voltage protection consists in clamping diodes connected between Vpp, Vssp and critical
nodes of the devices.
Timing control consists in a m onitoring of the ou tput stage control signals to avoid any cross-conduction.
Over-temperature protection is activated when
junction temperature reaches the threshold values
fixed internally and sets the device in tri-state
mode.
STV7801 can drive several data drivers connected
to column electrodes of the panel. The maximum
amount of data drivers is given by the Power Recovery Current of the device and then the maximum rise/fall time of the signal. The rise and fall
time of the AC supply signal is adjusted by the value of the inductance connected to the panel capacitance through the data drivers. The amount of
STV7801 needed to gene rate the AC supply can
be reduced by increasing the rise/fall time of the
generated AC supply.
