In this paper, step-down piezoelectric transformer is studied. The piezoelectric transformer, made of lead zirconate titanate solid solution ceramic, is operated by a fundamental contour-extensional vibration mode. The transformer of 14mm length, 14mm width and 4.5mm thickness was made up two shape(Type I and II). The resonant frequency (fr) is 144kHz and 128kHz at the load resistant of $7.5{\Omega}$ that is a similar to calculating matching impedance. The gain (G) obtained 0.19 and 0.08 at each resonant frequency, when applied input voltage is 25V. The temperature difference with the variation of load resistant was increased with increasing load resistant and was the lowest at $7.5{\Omega}$ near the matching of output impedance.

The back-light inverter used in the laptop computer is designed in this paper. It has been difficult for electromagnetic transformer to enhance the efficiency and compact profile of the inverter. In this paper, (1) the piezoelectric transformer (PT) is used for reducing the loss; (2) the volumes of core and winding coil are used in electromagnetic transformer, and (3) the half-bridge series parallel resonant circuit is used in the driver of the inverter. The modified PT for this paper and the equivalent circuit are supported by the simulation program. The result of the experiment shows more than 91% improvement in terms of the efficiency.

This paper present a new disk-type piezoelectric transformer. The input side of the transformer has a crescent-shaped electrode and the output side has a focused poling direction. The piezoelectric transformers operated in each transformer's resonance vibration mode. The electrodes and poling directions on commercially available piezoelectric ceramic disks were designed so that the planar or shear mode coupling factor $(k_p,\;k_{15})$ becomes effective rather than the transverse mode coupling factor ($k_{31}$). A single layer prototype transformer, 26[mm] in diameter and $1.5{\sim}4.0[mm]$ thick, was fabricated, such as step-up ratio, power transformation efficiency and temperature were measured.

The resonance characteristics on vibration mode of a transverse type ceramic resonator and the output voltage characteristics of a piezoelectric ceramic transformer are discussed in the effects of partial electrode arrangement (one sided, centered and both sided). A resonance characteristics of resonator depended strongly on both a vibration mode and a electrode structure because of a strain distribution. The maximum resonance current of a piezoelectric ceramic transformer [PCT] with partial centered electrode appeared in λ/2 mode, and that of a PCT with partial both sided electrode appeared in 3λ/2 mode. But the maximum output voltage of those samples appeared in λ/2 mode. In the PCT with partial both sided electrode, the ration of output voltage to input current was highest out of all samples and the poling voltage was a half times of 깬두 type transformer.

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PMN-PZT ceramics with a high mechanical quality factor$(Q_m)$ and a low temperature sintering temperature were investigated as a function of PZN substitution in order to develop multilayer piezoelectric transformer for AC-DC converter. Multilayer piezoelectric transformers were subsequently manufactured using the PMN-PZN-PZT ceramic offering the optimal behavior and then the electrical performance were invetigated. At the sintering temperature of $940^{\circ}C$, density, electromechanical coupling factor$(k_p)$, mechanical qualify factor$(Q_m)$ and dielectric constant$(\varepsilon_r)$ of 8 mol% PZN substituted specimen were $7.73g/cm^3$, 0.524, 1573 and 1455, respectively. The PZN substitution caused a increase in the dielectric constant and the electromechnical coupling factor. The voltage step-up ratio of multilayer piezoelectric transformer showed the maximum value at near the resonant frequency of 76.55 kHz and increased according to the increase of load resistance. The multilayer piezoelectric transformer with the output impedance coincided with the load resistance showed the temperature increase of less than $20^{\circ}C$ at the output power of 10 W. Based on the results, the manufactured multilayer transformer using the low temperature sintered PMN-PZN-PZT ceramics can be stably driven for both step-up and down transformers.

PNW-PMN-PZT ceramics were fabricated with the variations of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ addition and their microstructural and piezoelectric characteristics were investigated. When the amount of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ increased, grain size decreased gradually. At 0.3wt％ Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ which is the same weight percent with Fe$_2$O$_3$, maximum tetragonality(c/a) and density were shown due to the complexed doping effects. Also, this composition that showed Qm of 2,041, kp of 0.55, grain size of 2.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and $\varepsilon$r of 1704 were proper for high power application. Using this composition, Rosen-type piezoelectric transformer was fabricated as the size of 1 ${\times}$ 16 ${\times}$ 5㎣ and its electrical characteristics were investigated with the variations of load resistance and driving frequency. At the resistance of 200㏀, maximum step-up ratio of 13.68 was shown. After driving PDA CCFL for 25 min using the inverter circuit, at driving frequency of 214.4KHz, input voltage of 31.78 V and input current of 21.1mA were measured at the input part of piezoelectric transformer. And then, output voltage of 293.2 V and output current of 2.2mA were shown at the output part of piezoelectric transformer. At the same time, efficiency of 96.2％ and temperature rise of 3.5$^{\circ}C$ were appeared at the piezoelectric transformer.ormer.

본 연구에서는 네온 변압기를 세라믹 계열의 압전 변압기를 이용한 인버터식 네온관용 변압기를 제안하였다 인버터식 네온관용 압전 변압기의 주요 구성은 정류부, 발진부, 공진형 하프브릿지 인버터회로부 및 압전 변압기부로 구성 제작하였다. 네온관용 변압기는 지금까지 개발된 압전 변압기 용량 보다 대부분 큰 용량을 필요로 하고 있기 때문에 압전 변압기의 용량 증가를 위해 병렬 구동하였다 이때 병렬로 연결된 단층형 압전 변압기간 내부 임피던스 값의 불일치로 발생하는 불평형 전류를 최소화 하기 위하여 압전 변압기별로 LC 필터값을 분석 부착하여 전압의 왜곡율을 최소화 하여 안정된 정현파 출력을 구현하였다. 그리고 이를 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 실험과 실제 네온관 부착 실험을 통하여 전력 밀도와 절연 레벨이 높고, 누설 자속이 없는 소형, 경량화된, 압전 변압기를 적용한 인버터식 네온관용 변압기가 기존의 자기식 네온관용 변압기 보다 우수함을 비교 입증하였다.

In the $(Pb_{1-x}M_x)[(Mn_{1/3}Sb_{2/3})_{0.05}Zr_yTi_{0.95-y}]O_3$ system, where M=Ca and Sr, the piezoelectric properties were evaluated to examine the possibility of application to piezoelectric transformer. A Rosen-type piezoelectric transformer was formed, then the electrical properties of voltage step-up ratio, frequency characteristics etc. were analysed. The morphotropic phase boundary was determined to be y=0.475 in $Pb[(Mn_{1/3}Sb_{2/3})_{0.05}Zr_yTi_{0.95-y}]O_3$ system and the piezoelectric properties of this composition was kp=0.59, Qm=1600 and $\varepsilon_r$=1150. Moreover, when 1-2 mol% of Sr are substituted, enhanced piezoelectric properties of kp=0.61, Qm=1600 and $\varepsilon_r$=1400 were shown. The temperature rising (ΔT) of a piezoelectric transformer with $Pb[Mn_{1/3}Sb_{2/3})_{0.05}Zr_{0.475}Ti_{0.475})]O_3 $ composition was $10^{\circ}C$, and the voltage step-up ratio was 500 when the output voltage was 4000V, whereas the ΔT was below $3^{\circ}C$ and the resonant frequency variation ($\Delta f_r$) as a function of load resistance was below 5% when the output voltage was 2000 V. These characteristics are superior to the properties of materials, which were substituted by Ca or without substitution.
