Abstract: A theoretical analysis is performed on a high voltage piezoelectric transformer operating with thickness-shear modes using the zero-dimensional equations of a piezoelectric parallelepiped. Analytical solutions for the transforming ratio and efficiency of the transformer are obtained. Their dependence on the driving frequency, load impedance and geometric parameters are examined.
