Automated design tools for piezoelectric transformer-based power supplies

This paper proposed a design approach for piezoelectric-transformer-based power supplies. Initially, an analytical approach is used to derive the Mason equivalent circuit parameters of a PT. This is coupled with a semi-automated procedure to decide the appropriate physical dimensions of the PT. The procedure is applied to a typical low-power power supply specification, whereupon a specific transformer is design, verified using COMSOL and used as a simulated converter in SPICE. Results show that the design can be successfully implemented while maintaining efficient zero-voltage switching operation.
