Abstract :
Piezoelectric transformers (PTs) provide several advantages compared to magnetic components that are higher power density, lower radiated noise and higher voltage isolation capability. PT must be properly designed to benefit the power converter with the advantages aforementioned. In this paper, a step by step procedure to determine the electrode area, the type of material, the number and thickness of the layers and the electrode distribution considering power topology restrictions is presented.
