Abstract

This paper proposes the Low Cost Class-E Converter with Power Conversion Operation of Piezoelectric Transformer. The Power Piezoelectric transformer capacity used in the proposed circuit is 15W and the electric equivalent circuit is presented. Class E type converter has some merits such as small component count, small size, and low cost. The topology has also ZVS conditions for main switch, thus in efficiency aspect, it is also competitive for commercial feasibility. The analysis and design guideline are suggested and also they are verified by experimental results.
