| 1. A plasma display panel driver for applying a reset driving waveform in a ramp pulse format to a panel capacitor, comprising:
a transistor having a drain electrode coupled to a first terminal of the panel capacitor and a source electrode coupled to
a power source;
a capacitor having a first terminal coupled to a gate electrode of the transistor;
a Zener diode having an anode coupled to a second terminal of the capacitor; and
a first resistor and a diode coupled between a cathode of the Zener diode and the drain electrode of the transistor, wherein
the first resistor and the diode are coupled in parallel to each other.
