In this paper, it is reviewed is to acquaint a circuit design with features of piezoelectric ceramic transformers(PT) and to show the general approach to the design of inverters utilizing PT as a circuit element. The description of the piezoelectric effect is not present here and can be easily found in numerous publications as well as complex equations and formulae. What is the most important to understand is that "they are different" -one cannot just change an electromagnetic transformer (EMT) for a piezoelectric one. Several examples of PT-based circuitry will help to start and use PT's advantages most effectively.

Piezoelectric inverter for driving CCFL is designed in this study. Of them, CCFL is generally used because it has advantages such as small size, high efficiency and good brightness characteristics. the description of the piezoelectric effect is not present here and can be easily found in numerous publications as well as complex equations and formulae. What is the most important to understand is that "they are different" one cannot just change an electromagnetic transformer(EMT) for a piezoelectric one. The simulation program supports the modeled piezoelectric inverter for this paper and the equivalent circuit. The result of the experiment shows more than 90% improvement in terms of the efficiency.
