  • Patent number: 6882090
    Abstract: Of a plurality of surfaces forming its shape, a piezoelectric transformer 13A has two types of output electrodes 22 and 23 on one surface in the longitudinal direction and two opposing surfaces in the lateral direction. This piezoelectric transformer 13A can be driven by properly switching first and second resonance modes different from each other. In a strobe apparatus, a discharge capacitor 3 is charged by a voltage generated in the output voltage 23 when the piezoelectric transformer 13A is driven in the first resonance mode, and a discharge tube 4 is triggered by a voltage generated in the output electrode 22 when the piezoelectric transformer 13A is driven in the second resonance mode.

  • Patent number: 6486612
    Abstract: In a piezoelectric transformer control circuit, when a load (2) is disconnected from a piezoelectric transformer (1) and changes to an open state, an output detection voltage (Vdet) becomes higher than a reference voltage (Vref2), and the output from a voltage comparator (10a) goes “Low”. When the output of the piezoelectric transformer (1) is short-circuited to GND, the output detection voltage (Vdet) abruptly drops to almost “0” and becomes lower than a reference voltage (Vref3). The output from a voltage comparator (10b) goes “Low”. A voltage-controlled oscillation circuit (6) detects the signal “Low” to stop the generation of the oscillation signal to a driving circuit (7) for driving the piezoelectric transformer (1).

  • Patent number: 6262518
    Abstract: Mount terminals (4a, 5a, 6) are formed on end faces of a housing (1). These mount terminals serve to mount the housing (1) on a circuit board and also serves as lead electrodes for the outer and output electrodes of a piezoelectric device to be housed in the case. The piezoelectric device is fixed in the housing (1) by using the lead electrodes (4, 5) integrally formed with mount terminals (4a, 5a) and projections (2, 3).

  • Patent number: 6239558
    Abstract: In a piezoelectric transformer control circuit for driving a load (2) connected to a piezoelectric transformer (1), an oscillation signal as a basis of driving of the piezoelectric transformer (1) is oscillated, and the piezoelectric transformer (1) is driven by a driving circuit (4) on the basis of the oscillation signal. A pulse power supply circuit (5) for supplying a pulse voltage to the driving circuit (4) intermittently drives the driving circuit (4) by pulse-modulating the pulse voltage to be supplied to the driving circuit (4).

  • Patent number: 6198198
    Abstract: When an input voltage rises, (the amplitude of) a sine-wave voltage for driving a piezoelectric transformer (1) increases, so that a detection voltage (Vti) rectified by a rectifying circuit (9) also increases. An output voltage from an error amplifier (10) for comparing the detection voltage (Vti) with a reference voltage (Vref2) rises. If the output voltage from the error amplifier (10) rises, a voltage-controlled oscillation circuit (11) decreases the duty ratio of an oscillation signal to be output. In a driving circuit (7), as the duty ratio of the oscillation signal decreases, the amplitude of a fundamental wave contained in a rectangular wave to be output decreases to be a small driving voltage to the piezoelectric transformer (1).

  • Patent number: 6172447
    Abstract: In a piezoelectric transformer device (36), a plurality of inner electrodes are stacked on each other on the left side. These inner electrodes are alternately connected to each other through interlevel connection conductors to constitute two inner electrode groups. A secondary output electrode in the form of a mesh is formed near the end portion of the device (36) on the right side. Only primary input electrodes (1,2) connected to the two inner electrode groups, a secondary output electrode (40), and the lead electrode of the secondary output electrode in the form of a mesh are exposed on the same surface of the device.
