A method is presented for forming multiple surface mount technology sensor packages in a panel for separation into individual SMT sensor packages. A plasma display apparatus comprises a plasma display panel comprising address electrodes, a data driver for supplying a data voltage and a first voltage with a voltage that is more than a ground voltage to the address electrodes and a driving voltage generator for generating the first voltage and the data voltage and for supplying the first voltage and the data voltage to the data driver. The partition bus relies on virtualizing software in order to establish itself and to establish channels of communication between partitions and to inject interrupts to partitions where it is appropriate to do so. The control circuit is connected to the series circuit and the bypass circuit to detect a voltage change of the series circuit and control the bypass circuit to be in a conduct state or a blocked state according to the voltage change.
