Abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, Pb(Sb1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mn1/3Nb2/3) O3-Pb(Zr0.49Ti0.51)O3 (abbreviated as PSN-PMN-PZT) composition ceramics was sintered at 1230∼1270°C for developing the composition for piezoelectric transformer. At the ceramic composition sintered at 1250°C, Density, electromechanical coupling factor (kp) and mechanical quality factor (Qm) showed the excellent values of 7.78[g/cm3], 0.59 and 1931, respectively, suitable for piezoelectric transformer application. The single layer Rosen-type piezoelectric transformers were also sintered at the sintering temperature of 1250°C and manufactured with the size of 48 × 10 × 2 mm3, respectively, using the composition ceramics. And then, their electrical properties were investigated according to the variations of frequency and load resistance. At the load resistance of 150 kΩ, the voltage step-up ratio of the transformers showed the maximum values at the vicinity of 68.4KHz. And also, at that load resistance, piezoelectric transformers showed the temperature rises of about 6°C at the output power of 5W. At transformer with high effective electromechanical coupling factor(keff) and high piezoelectric constant(d33), lower temperature increase was relatively appeared. And also, the piezoelectric transformer was reviewed for the voltage down of igniter type energy harvesting piezoelectric device.
