ABSTRACT:
A power transformer circuit (100) includes a capacitor (120) and a resonator (140). The resonator (140) is coupled in series with the capacitor (120) and is operable to provide a substantially inductive impedance between its terminals (142,144). Resonator (140) is preferably implemented as a piezoelectric lithium niobate resonator that is operated in a thickness-shear mode. In a preferred embodiment, power transformer circuit (100) is employed as a series resonant output circuit in an electronic ballast (500) for powering at least one gas discharge lamp (30).
