A DC power supply utilizing a piezoelectric transformer (PT) is presented capable of achieving greater power levels when compared to existing designs. A microcontroller-based system is used to regulate both the line and load sides of the transformer to prevent over-stressing the component. Future work will parallel modules to achieve higher power levels.
