摘要:
The present invention relates to a piezoelectric power converter comprising an input driver electrically coupled directly to an input or primary electrode of the piezoelectric transformer without any intervening series or parallel inductor. A feedback loop is operatively coupled between an output voltage of the piezoelectric transformer and the input driver to provide a self-oscillation loop around a primary section of the piezoelectric transformer oscillating at an excitation frequency. Electrical characteristics of the feedback loop are configured to set the excitation frequency of the self- oscillation loop within a zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) operation range of the piezoelectric transformer.

Pulse signal generating circuitry (120) generates a pulse signal (iii) for the primary side of a piezoelectric transformer (101). A voltage dependent upon the frequency of the pulse signal is output from the secondary side. The circuitry compares an output voltage (Vout) with a target voltage and changes the frequency of the pulse signal (iii) in dependence upon the comparison results. In a fine adjustment operation the pulse-signal frequency is adjusted, starting from an initial frequency, so as to tend to maintain the output voltage at or close to the target voltage. Prior to the fine adjustment operation, a sweep operation is carried out to set the initial frequency. The pulse-signal frequency is changed step by step from a first frequency to a second frequency at which the output voltage crosses the target voltage. A rate of change of the pulse-signal frequency in the sweep operation is greater than that in at least part of the fine adjustment operation to speed up the rise of the output voltage.

摘要:
Composition and evaluation are shown about the feedback circuit and its circuit constants which stabilize the direct-current output voltage obtained by rectifying a high-frequency carrier outputted from a resonance circuit against a wide range of load. An equivalent power supply is introduced, including a virtual resonance circuit and a virtual rectification circuit. The virtual resonance circuit, supplied with the same input with a resonance circuit, outputs the envelop of such the carrier that is outputted by the resonance circuit. The virtual rectification circuit, supplied with the envelop of the carrier, works as a first-order delay and outputs the direct-current voltage equivalent with the output of a rectification circuit. The equivalent power supply is described by the system of differential equations. The sufficient condition that the system of differential equations becomes stable is given. The feedback circuit satisfying the sufficient condition is shown to be stable by simulation.

The switched power converter comprises a first rectifier module (11-1) connected to a first capacitor (11-2) that, in turn, is connected to an excitation module (11-3) that applies a voltage to some input terminals (PT-1, PT-2) of a piezoelectric transformer (PT). A controller device (11-3-3) governs the excitation module (11-3) in order that the piezoelectric transformer (PT) works at constant frequency and regulates the power delivered to the output of the converter by enabling/disabling the voltage applied to the terminals (PT-1, PT-2). When the piezoelectric transformer (PT) is not transferring energy between its input terminals (PT-1, PT-2) and its output terminals (PT-3, PT-4), the converter output voltage is supplied by a second capacitor included in a second filter (11-6).

The invention provides a piezo-electric tag (10, 300) in the form of a card, the tag (10, 300) incorporating a first dipole antenna (20), a first rectification circuit (30), a piezo-electric transformer (40), a second rectification circuit (50) and a transponder circuit (60). In operation, the antenna (20) receives incoming radiation and generates a corresponding signal Sa which propagates to the first circuit (30) which demodulates and filters it to generate a signal Sb. The signal Sb is applied to the transformer (40) to excite it. The transformer (40) increases the voltage amplitude of the signal Sb by generating a relatively higher voltage amplitude signal Sc which is used in the tag (10, 300) to generate a signal Sd for supplying power to the transponder (60). The transformer (40) provides voltage magnitude enhancement to generate potentials suitable for operating active electronic circuits incorporated into the tag (10, 300). The tag can be personnel wearable and even adapted for permanent inclusion into biological systems.
摘要:
A circuit (10) for driving a piezoelectric transformer (12) in a phase locked mode without using an external reference signal. The circuit (10) utilizes a 555 timer circuit operated in a stable mode which is responsive to a feedback phase signal (18) coupled from an output signal (20) of the piezoelectric transformer (12). The feedback phase signal (18) overpowers the trigger circuit of the timer to phase lock the timer to an output of the piezoelectric transformer (12) at a resonant frequency of the piezoelectric transformer (12). The circuit (10) provides a simplified phase lock circuit without the need for a typical PLL configuration.
