A new sustain circuit based on the three‐level converter topologies for an AC plasma display panel (AC‐PDP) drive, is proposed. The proposed circuit features half the device voltage stresses and the significantly reduced power losses, compared to those of the conventional ones. This circuit, realizable without much increased cost of the semiconductor devices, gives a significant improvement in the power efficiency, essential for the design of a drive circuit for the AC‐PDP. A comparative analysis and experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed sustain circuit.
