In this paper a new topology of step down DC-DC converter using a piezoelectric component as storage element is presented. DC-DC conversion process is based on electrical-mechanical-electrical transducer with Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) for reducing losses. The experimental results in open loop operation are presented and it validates the converter operation principle for 30V to 10V at 2W power conversion.
