A switching control circuit for a scan driving unit or a sustain driving unit of a plasma display panel driving device is disclosed. The switching control circuit includes a level shift circuit configured to generate a level-shifted signal by level shifting a control signal to a level referenced to a negative reference voltage, where the control signal was referenced to a ground voltage. The switching control circuit also includes a driver IC configured to amplify the level-shifted signal, and a switching circuit configured to perform a switching operation corresponding to the output signal.
