Abstract

This paper presents design and construct of flat type step-down piezoelectric transformer for the application to AC-adapters. This piezoelectric transformer operated in resonance vibration mode. In this paper, Finite element method(FEM) was used for analysis piezoelectric transformers. Vibration mode and electric field of piezoelectric transformer at resonance frequency were simulated. Using this simulation, we manufactured flat type piezoelecric transformer and measured its output characteristics. As results, output power was linearly increased by increasing input power at resonance frequency. And it was found that the transformer exhibited an output power of 11.4[W] at 60[V] input voltage. From these results, we expect that this piezoelecric transformer can be applied to AC adapters.
