Patent number: 10412839Abstract: A piezoelectric transformer includes a piezoelectric element. Two primary side electrodes exist on the primary side of the piezoelectric element. The primary side electrodes are coupled by a resistor formed from a conductive coating. A discharge current is discharged via the resistor to protect a semiconductor component from the discharge current. Since neither a short-circuit terminal nor conductive jig is required, electrostatic discharge damage to a semiconductor component can be prevented by a low-cost arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2018Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Osamu Nagasaki, Masamichi Iida, Hiroshi Mano
