Pulse frequency modulation drive circuit for piezoelectric transformer

摘要

A pulse frequency modulation drive circuit (1114) for a piezoelectric transformer (1102) is provided. Circuit (1114) includes a piezoelectric transformer (1102) having a resonant frequency and an input and an output section. A frequency feedback network connected to the piezoelectric transformer (1102) and an output level sense (1112) connected to the piezoelectric transformer (1102) is also provided. A drive circuit (1114) has a first switch (S1) and a third switch (S3) having a capacitance (1118) therebetween. A second switch (S2) and a fourth switch (S4) connect a supply voltage (VIN) to each of a pair of inductors (L1 and L2) and the second switch (S2) and the fourth switch (S4) are driven 180 DEG out of phase at the resonant frequency of the piezoelectric transformer (1102).
