Abstract

The current paper presents the design and implementation of a low-profile dc-to-dc converter developed as a power supply for the sustain driving circuit inside large-area wall-mount ac PDP application systems. Details on the design and implementation of a 500 W prototype dc-to-dc converter, miniaturized within a 230 $mm{\times}130$ mm area with a thickness of 25 mm while still achieving a 95 % conversion efficiency, are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and application potentials of the proposed low-profile dc-to-dc converter.
