Abstract

A piezoelectric transformer (PT) converter with PWM is presented. The active-clamp technique makes it possible to control the output voltage with PWM even if the PT converter operates in a resonant fashion. The PT converter with PWM control was implemented on a printed circuit board. The line and load regulation was successfully achieved under the input-voltage variation of 20 to 30 V, Vo=5 V, Io=0-4 A, and fs=2.08 MHz. Maximum efficiency achieved 82%
