Y-Drive board works as a path supplying the Sustain and Reset waveforms which are made in the Y-Sustain board and sent to the panel through scan driver IC’s. The Y-Drive boards supply a waveform which selects the horizontal electrodes sequentially. The 42PG20 uses 8 driver ICs on 1 Y-Drive board.

CIRCUIT DeSCRIPTIONS Z-SUS BOARD Provides the SUSTAIN PULSE and ERASE PULSE for generating SUSTAIN discharge in the panel by receiving Drive signals from the Y/Z-Sus board. This waveform is supplied to the panel through FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit (Z). Z-Bias is a “DC” adjustment. The effects of this adjustment can be observed on the scope looking at the Z-Sus output.
